Baroness. What is the matter?
Gran. He is a dying man.
Baroness. What!
Gran. The King desires me to tell you that he has ordered a special train to be ready at 10 o'clock, so that as soon as the court is over she can go to her father. The King will accompany her.
Baroness. That is kind of him!
Gran. Then you will get ready everything that she needs for a night's journey?
Baroness. Yes.
Gran. And without her being aware of it? The King does not wish her to know anything of her father's condition till after the court.
Baroness. The court is to be held, then?
Gran. The court is to be held. After it is over, His Majesty will tell her the news himself.
