Cha. They are enemies.
Her. I knew!
Cha. Megario dealt my friend a bitter wrong,—
The foulest wrong that man may put on man.
Her. He's loyal to my father. I know that
Of him,—and of Emilio—nothing.
Cha. Sweet,
I beg one day!
Her. One day? What's hatching here
That's one day short its time?
[Enter, lower right, Hudibrand, Megario, and Borduc]
Cha. [Drawing Hernda aside] To-morrow, love!
Her. To-night!
Hud. You've won your suit, Megario.
If by our presence in your Goldusan
We can advance that sister country's peace.
The journey's naught. We'll count it done.
