_Morning. A room in a palace, opening on a balcony. Through the
arched broad window at the back is seen the sky, just beginning to be
suffused with the rosy streakings of dawn. A large, wide heavy seat
stands on a dais, with a low square stool beside it. A girl kneels on
the stool, with her head and arms on the chair, dozing.
The dark figure of a man appears on the balcony. He puts a leg over the
window-ledge and climbs in slowly.
A little noise wakes the girl. She stirs, looks round, jumps up, and
starts to scream_.
THE MAN. Oh, not so loud!
