TITLE 1832

Hunt, Count Frederick, his guests and servants chase a doe. Suddenly a group of trees cuts Count Frederick away from the rest of the party.

It has no lock?

I’d rather show you

(the salesman’s hand moves the apple into the bird’s beak and the box opens)

Your bride will be delighted, signore.
