TARTAGLIA.
(_To_ BARAK.) A lot more good, believe me!
You have, if I may say so, a rascal's face; and I can tell you I don't like it.
(_Exit._)
BRIGELLA.
Permit me, your Royal Highness, to execute my commission. Have the goodness to follow me to your apartments!
CALAF.
I am coming.
(_To_ BARAK.)
Friend, until we meet again, Some better time, farewell.
BARAK.
Your humble servant.
BRIGELLA.
Come along! Come along! No more fooling.
(_Exit at the head of his guards, who march in two lines, with_ CALAF _between them_.)
SCENE IV
BARAK, then SKIRINA.
BARAK.
(_Sees_ SKIRINA _coming from the Palace_.)
Who's there? Skirina? What! And in such haste?
Whence come you? Whither are you going?
SKIRINA.
Why, For sheer delight because the unknown Prince Had won the game; a little, too, because I itched to hear how the proud tigress took it, I ran to see Zelima in the harem.
BARAK.
Incautious woman! What is this you say?
I see. I hear you boasting: "Yes, just fancy, The strange Prince spoke to us; my husband knows him...."
Is it not as I say?
SKIRINA.
Well, if it is, What harm is there?
BARAK.
Confess it! You have told!
SKIRINA.
Well, yes! She asked me straightway for his name, And, to be frank, I promised her...
BARAK (_angrily_).
d.a.m.nation!
The cat's out of the bag. Insensate woman!
Come hence! Away out of the town!
(TRUFFALDINO _appears with his eunuchs in the background._)
Too late!
There come the eunuchs.
(_To_ SKIRINA.)
Fool of a woman, go!
Go home and hide thy folly!
(_To the eunuchs._)
Here I am!
