Baronet, what does this mean? Where is the Prince of Wales?
HOTHAM.
Your Majesty, I am all astonishment. I have but just learned that the prince is now on a journey to Scotland.
ALL.
What's that?
QUEEN.
The Prince is not in Berlin?
HOTHAM.
While some trustworthy witnesses insist that the Prince was actually here, others again assert that he returned to England the very moment in which he realized that his patriotic interests—the interests of the cotton industry—could not be reconciled with the inclinations of his heart.
