[Ursus covers his face with his hands and speaks in a low voice.]

When you were both under the lamp I asked him what he found to smile at. I asked him roughly to stop smiling.

Dea [happily]

Yes, Gwymplane always smiles, doesn't he? He must have a very contented spirit. I wish that I could see his smile. How it provokes other people to laugh!

[Ursus looks at her pityingly, and pats her on the shoulder.]

I smile and weep a great deal lately over my love for Gwymplane, and I am frightened about one thing.

Ursus

What is that?

Dea

That someone is going to make him unhappy.
