27 VALET (Shocked): ’Tis the maiden, Spring!
28 KING: You! You are the one who has turned my kingdom upside down
with fishing tournaments and outings! I’ll not have it, do you
understand? I’ll keep you under lock and key, so you can do no more
mischief! (SPRING remains silent.) Take the prisoner to the dungeon,
and see that every measure is taken to prevent her escape. (KING falls
back against pillows, exhausted, as GUARDS salute and lead SPRING
away. KING turns weakly to VALET.) You—stop staring like an idiot,
and get out of here. I am exhausted. Wake me at six o’clock tomorrow
morning.
29 VALET: As you wish, Your Highness. Pleasant dreams, Sire. (VALET
takes tray and exits.)
30 KING (To DOOR GUARD): You, too, out!
31 DOOR GUARD: Good night, Your Majesty. (Exits)
(KING closes his eyes. Lights dim.)
