Sir, I bring you very bad news concerning your love affair.

LEA
What is it now?

CAR
The gypsies are on the point of carrying off Zerbinette. She came herself all in tears to ask me to tell you that, unless you take to them, before two hours are over, the money they have asked you for her, she will be lost to you for ever.

LEA
Two hours?

CAR
Two hours.
