WILHELMINE (_hesitating_).
No--never, no.
PRINCE.
You are trembling, Princess. Oh, I know your dutiful heart shudders at the thought of defying your parents, of following the call of your own inclination. But--tell me, do you trust your father's heart?
WILHELMINE.
It is full of kindness and love.
PRINCE.
Very well, then. He has honored me, he has shown confidence in me; the arrival of the Prince of Wales provokes him to rebuke such hardiness. I will show him what is in my heart, and then, Wilhelmine--then? If he refuse the hand I ask--
WILHELMINE (_turning from him_).
You will--find consolation?
PRINCE.
And if he grant it?
WILHELMINE (_overcome by her emotion, allows her heart full sway, but is still roguish and maidenly_).
Then--I fear that you will not keep your word--to punish me for torturing you so cruelly.
[_She goes out quickly._]
SCENE VI
PRINCE (_alone_).
She loves me. Then _one_ thing is sure! I will now take the straight road into the very jaws of the lion. What else remains? Betrayed by Hotham, there is naught but Wilhelmine's love--and my own courage.
[_He goes toward the_ KING'S _door._]
SCENE VII
EVERSMANN _comes from the_ KING'S _room._
EVERSMANN.
Whither, Your Highness?
PRINCE.
To the King.
EVERSMANN.
You will find him very angry.
PRINCE.
Angry at whom?
EVERSMANN.
Angry at you, Prince.
PRINCE.
You are joking!
EVERSMANN.
The Duke of Weissenfels is to undertake the mission to Vienna.
PRINCE.
What does that mean?
EVERSMANN.
Investigation by the Attorney-General--just come to the King's ears.
The man _was_ a wigmaker.
PRINCE.
You are quite mad. I must speak to the King. It concerns the most important affair of my whole life. [_Starts for the door again._]
EVERSMANN.
Pardon me, Prince, His Majesty sends you this letter.
PRINCE (_takes the letter_).
"To my son, the Crown Prince of Prussia, to be delivered personally in Rheinsberg within twenty-four hours; kindness of the Prince of Baireuth." Why this--this is a formal decree of banishment from Berlin!
How could it happen just now?
EVERSMANN.
