[They go out, Tsumu looking after them in speechless amazement. Suddenly she sees the papyrus on the shield, runs over and reads it and then rushes to the door of the library.]
Tsumu [calling]. Analytikos.
[She hides the purse in her bosom. Analytikos enters, scroll in hand.]
Analytikos. Has the Queen summoned me?
Tsumu [mysteriously]. A terrible thing has happened.
Analytikos. What's the matter?
Tsumu. Where's the King?
Analytikos. In the library.
Tsumu. I have news more precious than the gold of Midas.
Analytikos [giving her a purse]. Well! What is it?
