The Prince, Orsina, Marinelli.

PRINCE (aside, as he advances).

I must come to his assistance.

ORSINA (espies him, but remains irresolute whether to approach him or not).

Ha! There he is.

PRINCE (walks straight across the room towards the other apartments).

Ha! The fair Countess, as I live. How sorry I am, Madam, that I can to-day so ill avail myself of the honour of your visit. I am engaged. I am not alone. Another time, dear Countess, another time. At present stay no longer--no longer, I beg. And you, Marinelli--I want you. (Exit.)
