Scene II.—A Room in Don Cesar’s House.
Enter Cesar and Lazaro meeting.
Laz. A letter, sir, Elvira just gave me.
Ces. A letter! Give it me. How long have you had it?
Laz. I looked for you first at the Prince’s.
Ces. Where I was not?
Laz. You know it! I am always looking for what cannot be found in time. But if you like the letter I shall claim my largess for all that.
Ces. Ah! what does she say?
Laz. The folly, now, of a man with his watch in his hand asking other people for the time of day!
Ces. My heart fails me. Even if your news be good it comes late.
