The King (shading his eyes with his hand): Who are you?
The Princess: Father, may I come in?
The King: Is it you, my daughter? It is so dark here! I did not recognise you. And besides I am so old!
What have you been doing, my child?
The Princess: Pardon me, father!
I was all alone, for the servants have run away
And I was frightened.
The King: We are left alone in this abandoned palace
Around this little light placed on the floor.
The Princess: Shall I wait here with you, father?
