Note XXVI
IV. 5. 148. In the Quartos the passage is thus printed:
'A noyse within.
Enter Ophelia.
Laer. Let her come in.
How now, what noyse is that?'
How now, what noyse is that?'
In the Folios:
'A noise within. Let her come in.
Enter Ophelia.
Laer. How now? what noise is that?'
Rowe followed the Folios, Pope the Quartos, reading 'Let ... that?' as one line. Theobald first transferred the stage direction, Enter Ophelia, to follow the first line of Laertes's speech.
