(Enter Prince Berthold.)

Pardon, sir! I did not look for you

Till night, i' the Hall; nor have as yet declared

My judgment to the lady.

Berth. So I hoped.

Val. And yet I scarcely know why that should check

The frank disclosure of it first to you—

What her right seems, and what, in consequence,

She will decide on.

Berth. That I need not ask.
