Countess--And--why so?

Cherubino--When a ribbon--has pressed the head, and--touched the skin of one--

Countess [hastily]--Very strange--then it can cure wounds? I never heard that before. I shall certainly try it on the first wound of any of--my maids--

Cherubino [sadly]--I must go away from here!

Countess--But not for always? [Cherubino begins to weep.] And now you are crying! At that prediction of Figaro?

Cherubino--I'm just where he said I'd be. [Some one knocks on the door].

Countess--Who can be knocking like that?

The Count [outside]--Open the door!

Countess--Heavens! It's my husband. Where can you hide?

The Count [outside]--Open the door, I say.
