The Queen. Don't be heroic! What is the young paragon's name?
The Prince. She . . . she didn't tell me. We danced together, that was all.
The Queen. [Sarcastically.] Are you quite sure you would even know her again?
The Prince. Your Majesty is unkind!
THe Queen. Apparently the only way to discover the young person is to summon all the Maids of Honour. [She motions Sir Dandiprat, who hurries off.] I am curious to know your taste. Stand here by me and point her out when she comes.
- [Sir Dandiprat reappears in the doorway and introduces the Maids of Honour one by one. As each Maid is named she curtsies to the Prince.
Sir Dandiprat. The Maids of Honour. The Lady Rosalys. The Lady Amelotte. The Lady Ermengarde. The Lady Guinivere. The Lady Christabel. The Lady Astolaine. The Lady Ursula. The Lady Linnette.
