Wanda receives me in an intoxicating dishabille.

SCENE VI. A magnificent Saloon in LADY MILFORD'S House. Enter LADY MILFORD and SOPHIA. LADY MILFORD. You have seen her then? Will she come? SOPHIA. Yes, in a moment!

I tremble like a criminal at the prospect of beholding that fortunate woman whose heart sympathizes thus cruelly with my own.
