cry. Ah! What can have happened to my master? No doubt the same as to me. Poor Prince! Poor Prince!
Ogre. Don't cry. No!
Tony. [Aside] Poor me! Ah! An idea!… [Aloud] Ay! Ay!
Ogre. What's the matter with you?
Tony. I am poisoned! Ah!… I am poisoned! This wine is poisoned! Something is biting me inside like a dog… Ah! Mad dog! Mad dog!… Bark! He bites… I am poisoned!
Ogre. You are drunk.
Tony. You can't eat me now; I would kill you. Poison… Oh! Oh!
Ogre. Indigestion… Poor fellow! I have never had indigestion.
Ah!… [Falls asleep.
Tony. He has fallen asleep… I am saved! The Ogress seems to be a good woman, and she will help me escape. How he snores!… Which way can I get out?… I had better take some provisions first… Aha! Aha! This ought to be enough to last me for the journey…
The Beauty re-enters.
Beauty. Where are you going?
Tony. Oh!… She has surprised me. He has gone to sleep, and so as not to disturb him, I thought perhaps I'd better eat outside…
Beauty. Gone to sleep? Yes. There you are! One day this way and another day that… Pretty soon he will wake in a humor to eat us all up.
Tony. He will, will he? But before he wakes…
Beauty. I will see if I can get him to bed. Hello! Come on up-stairs…
