Rolfe. Booby! idiot!

Enter Walter.

Walter. Sir, lieutenant, the captain awaits your coming up.

Rolfe. I'll follow on the instant.

Princess. Thou wilt not go?

Rolfe. But for a time, love.

Princess. I do not wish thee to leave me.

Rolfe. I must, love; but I will return.

Princess. Soon—very soon?

Rolfe. Very—very soon.
