Oozizi: Farewell, great lady.

[The Queen turns, then suddenly she runs swiftly and nimbly through the door and disappears.

[At once there is a murmur of voices from the Hall of the Hundred Princes.

Voices (off): Ah, ah, ah.

[Oozizi stands still weeping.

[Enter the Princes, exquisite and frivolous. They crowd past each other.

Meliflor: And where is our little Queen?

[Oozizi answers with a defiant look through her tears, which has its effect on them.

Moomoomon (foppishly): There, there.

Ximenung: Gone!
