Claricha anxiously watching the groups as they enter.

ARREZI.

Welcome, my friends!

(After two or three greetings.)
(Aside.) We cannot now recede, they come prepared.

CLARICHA (Aside).

He comes not!

1st noble.

You've spared, good count, no cost upon your banquet.

(Aside.) Wear not that moody brow, to-night is ours.

Alas! that this must be.—(Aloud.)—The count is late.
