A room in the Privy Counsellor's, furnished in the modern stile.

Lew. I shall have the honour to let the Privy Counsellor know, that the Aulic Counsellor Reissman waits. (Steps into a closet, out of which the Privy Counsellor immediately comes, and Lewis sometime after.)

P. Coun. I thank you with all my heart. I shall never forget that I am indebted to you for it.
Reiss. I beg,--nay, I entreat--
P. Coun. Your advice.
