Jarvis. Your Highness—it's madness for you to come to this place. How did you get here?
Princess. (Crossing toward him) Heaven only knows. We have been wandering through this dreadful place for hours, calling to you—trying to find you before it was too late.
Jarvis. Too late? What do you mean?
Princess. My brother is safe, thank God!
Jarvis. Where is he?
Princess. On his way to get help from the King.
Jarvis. Where has he been?
Princess. Right here in this castle, a prisoner—since the day he entered.
Jarvis. A prisoner?
Princess. Yes, he succeeded in making his escape tonight, and has gone direct to the King for help.
