BEATRICE—Stay where you are. [_Sudden silence._] Indians! I’ll meet
him myself, else he’ll go on shouting until he awakens Prince Albert.
[_BEATRICE goes out into the garden._]
ALEXANDRA—[_To AGI._] My mother forgot to tell you that his highness, the
Prince, will later witness the fencing exercises.
AGI—As your highness commands.
ALEXANDRA—The necessary orders have been given at the gymnasium. First
there is to be sword practice between you and the boys, then they are to
have a bout with the foils.
AGI—May I ask whether your highness is to take part?
