Princess: A baby hidden in a basket! Bring him to me!
[Third maid hands basket to Princess, who takes the baby out.]
Princess: Oh, what a beautiful baby! He is mine, for I have found him! A Hebrew baby! His mother has hidden him in the bulrushes to save his life.
[Miriam runs out.]
Miriam: Lady, would you like a nurse for that baby?
Princess: A nurse for him? Yes, I do need a nurse.
Miriam: I can get you one very quickly.
Princess: Go bring her, child; I will wait here.
[Miriam goes away running.]
