78 SPRING: Open your eyes and heart to your environment. Now, if you
don’t mind, I must be on my way, my spring wonders to perform.
(SPRING takes KING’s arm and they walk to window. SPRING steps
through it, smiling, and disappears. KING remains at the window,
watching her depart, waving. KING takes a deep breath and, smiling,
turns back toward the room.)

79 DOOR GUARD: The Prime Minister to see the King.
80 KING: Good. (PRIME MINISTER enters with a paper in her hand.)
You’re just the person I want to see.

81 PRIME MINISTER: Your report. I stayed up all night to finish it.
82 KING: Never mind that now. Tell me, is this the day you wished to
take your kids fishing?

83 PRIME MINISTER: Forgive me, Sire. It was foolish of me.
84 KING: Not at all. You may have the day off—on one condition.
85 PRIME MINISTER: Condition?

86 KING: Yes—the condition that you take me with you!
87 PRIME MINISTER (Astonished): You? Fishing?

88 KING: Yes. I think it would be good for my stomachache. Besides, it
89 seems I have a touch of—spring fever! (Curtain)
