_To them enter_ ILLO.

ILLO.

Has Terzky told thee?

TERZKY.

 

He knows all.

ILLO.

And likewise That Esterhatzy, Goetz, Maradas, Kaunitz, Kolalto, Palfi, have forsaken thee.

TERZKY.

d.a.m.nation!

WALLENSTEIN (_winks at them_).

Hus.h.!.+

COUNTESS (_who has been watching them anxiously from the distance and now advances to them_).

Terzky! Heaven! What is it? What has happen'd?

WALLENSTEIN (_scarcely suppressing his emotions_).

Nothing! let us be gone!

TERZKY (_following him_).

Theresa, it is nothing.

COUNTESS (_holding him back_).

Nothing? Do I not see that all the life-blood Has left your cheeks--look you not like a ghost?

That even my brother but affects a calmness?

PAGE (_enters_).

An Aide-de-camp inquires for the Count Terzky.

[TERZKY _follows the_ PAGE.]

WALLENST. Go, hear his business.

[_To_ ILLO.]

This could not have happen'd So unsuspected without mutiny.

Who was on guard at the gates?

ILLO.

'Twas Tiefenbach.

WALLENST.

Let Tiefenbach leave guard without delay, And Terzky's grenadiers relieve him.

[ILLO _is going_.]

Stop!

Hast thou heard aught of Butler?

ILLO.

Him I met;

He will be here himself immediately.

Butler remains unshaken.

[ILLO _exit_. WALLENSTEIN _is following him_.]

COUNTESS.

Let him not leave thee, sister! go, detain him!

There's some misfortune.

d.u.c.h.eSS (_clinging to him_).

Gracious Heaven! What is it?

WALLENST.

Be tranquil! leave me, sister! dearest wife!

We are in camp, and this is nought unusual; Here storm and suns.h.i.+ne follow one another With rapid interchanges. These fierce spirits Champ the curb angrily, and never yet Did quiet bless the temples of the leader.

If I am to stay, go you. The plaints of women Ill suit the scene where men must act.

[_He is going_. TERZHY _returns_.]

TERZHY.

Remain here. From this window must we see it.

WALLENSTEIN (_to the_ COUNTESS).
