Adr. [Kissing her] Heaven-heart!
Soph. [Releasing herself] That must wait. We haven't a minute——
[They hear steps outside, and stand waiting. Orloff and two guards enter]
Orl. It is my turn to be surprised, your highness. I suppose you are here to assure this prisoner of safety.
Soph. What prisoner?
Orl. Adrian Lavrov.
[Guards put fetters on Adrian's wrists]
Adr. For what crime am I arrested?
Orl. [To guards] Keep him here until I return.
