The Death of Wallenstein (play)

SCENE VIII.

COUNTESS TERZKY (with a light).

Her bedchamber is empty; she herself

Is nowhere to be found! The Neubrunn too,

Who watched by her, is missing. If she should

Be flown-but whither flown? We must call up

Every soul in the house. How will the duke

Bear up against these worst bad tidings? Oh,

If that my husband now were but returned

Home from the banquet! Hark! I wonder whether

The duke is still awake! I thought I heard

Voices and tread of feet here! I will go

And listen at the door. Hark! what is that?

'Tis hastening up the steps!
