He is my son!—He is my son!—Go, Anhalt,—advise me—help me—Go to the poor woman, his mother—He can show you the way—make haste—speed to protect her— (MR. ANHALT: But what am I to——) Go.—Your heart will tell you how to act. (Exit Anhalt.) (Baron distractedly.) Who am I? What am I? Mad—raving—no—I have a son—A son! The bravest—I will—I must—oh! (with tenderness.) Why have I not embraced him yet? (increasing his voice.) why not pressed him to my heart? Ah! see— (looking after him) —He flies from the castle—Who’s there? Where are my attendants? (Enter two servants). Follow him—bring the prisoner back.—But observe my command—treat him with respect—treat him as my son—and your master. [ (Exit.).
