To-day there have been gipsies in the village.
Is it not so?
Mar. There have been gipsies here.
Hyp. Yes, and they told your fortune.
Mar. (embarrassed.) Told my fortune?
Hyp. Yes, yes; I know they did. Give me your hand.
I’ll tell you what they said. They said—they said,
The shepherd boy that loved you was a clown,
And him you should not marry. Was it not?
Mar. (surprised.) How know you that?
