Several princes.
FRAU STAAR.
That we do not know. He must be of noble extraction, for he does not lodge in the “Golden Cat,” but at our house, at the express desire of his Honour the Minister of State. Now, as my son, the Burgomaster and Chief Alderman, represents in his person the whole town as it were, you will, of course, understand that he must do honour to his position.
FRAU BRENDEL.
A banquet at the Town Hall——

A dance at the archers’ guild——

To-morrow, as you know, is the great fête.
FRAU BRENDEL.
