SCENE II.

Teresa, Antonia, and Carravagio.
TERESA.
Signor, the countess comes.

ANTONIA.
—Well, Carravagio;
Have you, in all things, done as I desired?


203

CARRAVAGIO.
I have, my honoured lady,—all—

TERESA.
But one:
He has not yet sent for, my lord, the count.

ANTONIA.
In that omission, he has judged well.—
I thank you, Carravagio: it was wise.

TERESA.
Nor Ferdinando has he yet arrested.

ANTONIA.
Teresa, doubtless he considers well.—
You may retire apart: when there is need,
I will require your presence; but till then—
Teresa?—Go, and lay prepared for me,
The dress of simple white.

TERESA.
Which, my dear lady?

ANTONIA.
That which I wore when I became a bride.
