Not so--not so--yet I cannot perceive----
MARINELLI.
Perceive?--It is best done at one blow. Withdraw quickly. You must not be seen here.
(Exit Prince.)
Scene II.
Marinelli and presently Angelo.
MARINELLI (goes again to the window).
The carriage is returning slowly to town. So slowly? and at each door a servant? These appearances do not please me; they show the plot has only half succeeded. They are driving some wounded person carefully, and he is not dead. The fellow in the mask comes nearer. 'Tis Angelo himself--foolhardy! But he knows the windings of this place. He beckons to me--he must know that he has succeeded.--Ha! ha! Count Appiani. You, who refused an embassy to Massa, have been obliged to go a longer journey. Who taught you to recognize apes so well? 'Tis true, they are malicious (walks towards the door). Well, Angelo?
Enter Angelo, with his mash in his hand.
