I want you here alone. You can begin—
I am not shy, though I appear to be.
Indeed, I entered here ten minutes since,
Because I heard from those outside the gates,
That you, Prince Philamir, had just arrived.
Phil. Then you’re a stranger here?
Azèma.I am, indeed!
The people told me any one was free
To enter.
Phil.Yes, quite right. Did they say more?
