[The Princes drum again, still louder with their heels.
Hark!
[Oozizi is frightened, The Queen runs to the door.
It is louder! They are nearer! They are coming here!
Oozizi: No, lady. They would not dare!
Queen: I must go, Oozizi; I must go.
Oozizi: No, lady. They will never dare. You must not. Hark! They come no nearer. June has maddened them, but they come no nearer. They are quiet now. Come back, lady. Leave the door, they come no nearer. See, it is all quiet now. They come no nearer, lady. (Oozizi catches her by the sleeve.) Lady, you must not.
Queen (much calmer, gazing away): Oozizi, I must go.
Oozizi: No, no, lady! All is quiet; you must not go.
Queen (calmly): It is calling for me, Oozizi.
