Meliflor: Perhaps; perhaps later we could return to our gallant scheme; for the present I think I'll hide a while.
Moomoomon: Yes, let us hide.
Meliflor: So that if there be anything wrong in the palace it will not find us.
[Exeunt Moomoomon and Meliflor.
Huz: Let us hide.
[Exeunt all but Zoon and Oomuz.
[Zoon has sat always with bent head at table. He sits so, still.
Zoon (bitterly): They would follow the Queen.
Oomuz: Mighty Highness——
Zoon (still to himself): They will come back boasting that they dared follow the Queen.
