Rosalys. Perfectly, Sir Dandiprat.
Sir Dandiprat. You have eight minutes and thirty-one seconds to prepare. [And he trips busily away again, followed by the Flunkies.]
Astolaine. Gracious! I can't possibly learn that dance in eight minutes and thirty-one seconds!
Christabel. And we must dance in pairs!
Ermengarde. What shall we do?
Rosalys. [Calling to Snow White who is still hidden behind the throne.] Princess Snow White, what shall we do?
- [There is no answer.]
Astolaine. It's all right, Princess. Sir Dandiprat has gone.
- [Still there is no answer; and puzzled, the little Maids call, on after another:
Rosalys. Princess Snow White!
Christabel. Princess Snow White!
Guinivere. Princess Snow White!
