Scene VI.
Marinelli, The Prince.
MARINELLI.
Your Highness will pardon me; I was not prepared for so early a summons.
PRINCE.
I felt an inclination to drive out, the morning was so fine. But now it is almost over, and my inclination has subsided. (After a short pause). Any news, Marinelli?
MARINELLI.
Nothing of importance that I know. The Countess Orsina arrived in town yesterday.
PRINCE.
Yes, here lies her morning salutation (pointing to the letter), or whatever it may be. I am not inquisitive about it. Have you seen her?
