Things first turn up auspicious here below —
Mark what I say – the right stars, too, will show themselves.
Come to the generals. All is in the glow,
And must be beaten while 'tis malleable.
TERZKY
Do you go thither, Illo? I must stay
And wait here for the Countess Terzky. Know
That we, too, are not idle. Break one string,
A second is in readiness.
ILLO
Yes! yes!
I saw your lady smile with such sly meaning.
What's in the wind?
TERZKY
A secret. Hush! she comes.
[Exit ILLO.
SCENE II
The COUNTESS steps out from a closet.
COUNT and COUNTESS TERZKY.
TERZKY
Well – is she coming? I can keep him back
No longer.
COUNTESS
She will be here instantly,
You only send him.
TERZKY
I am not quite certain,
I must confess it, countess, whether or not
We are earning the duke's thanks hereby. You know
No ray has broke out from him on this point.
You have o'erruled me, and yourself know best
How far you dare proceed.
COUNTESS
I take it on me.
[Talking to herself while she is advancing.
Here's no heed of full powers and commissions;
My cloudy duke! we understand each other —
And without words. What could I not unriddle,
Wherefore the daughter should be sent for hither,
Why first he, and no other should be chosen
To fetch her hither? This sham of betrothing her
To a bridegroom[9 - In Germany, after honorable addresses have been paid and formally accepted, the lovers are called bride and bridegreoom, even though the marriage should not take place till years afterwards.], whom no one knows – No! no!
This may blind others! I see through thee, brother!
But it beseems thee not to draw a card
At such a game. Not yet! It all remains
Mutely delivered up to my finessing.
Well – thou shalt not have been deceived, Duke Friedland,
In her who is thy sister.
SERVANT (enters)
The commanders!
[Exit.
TERZKY (to the COUNTESS)
Take care you heat his fancy and affections —
Possess him with a reverie, and send him,
Absent and dreaming to the banquet; that
He may not boggle at the signature.
COUNTESS
Take care of your guests! Go, send him hither.
TERZKY
All rests upon his undersigning.
COUNTESS (interrupting him)
Go to your guests! Go —
ILLO (comes back)
Where art staying, Terzky?
The house is full, and all expecting you.
