HOHENZOLLERN. No?

THE PRINCE. No.

HOHENZOLLERN. Then how can you be free?

THE PRINCE (after a pause).
I thought that you were bringing it.—What of it?

HOHENZOLL. I know of nothing.

THE PRINCE. Well, you heard: What of it?
He'll send some other one to let me know.

[He turns and brings chairs.]

Sit down. Now come and tell me all the news.
Has he returned, the Elector, from Berlin?

HOHENZOLL. Yes. Yester eve.

THE PRINCE. And did they celebrate
The victory as planned?—Assuredly!
And he was at the church himself, the Elector?
