Nurse: You know well I would never do that!
Princess: Do you, father, urge me to go?
King: They are in too big a hurry why
wouldn't they wait a while, for a quarter, or three-quarters
of a year.
Princess: Is that all the delay I am given, and
the term is set for me, like a servant that would be
banished from the house?
King: That's not it. That's not right. I
would never give in to let you go ...if it
wasn't ...
Princess: I know. (Stands up.) For my own
good!
(Trumpet outside.)
Gatekeeper: (Coming in.) There is company
at the door.
Queen: Who is it?
Gatekeeper: Servants, and a company of women,
and one that would seem to be a Prince, and young.
