Prince Gallus, a handsome, strongly-built man of five-and-twenty, with light curly hair, and fully armed, enters by the avenue on the left.


Julian.

Gallus.

What now? [Points to Agathon.] Who is that man?

Julian.

Agathon.

Gallus.

Julian.

Gallus.

[Anxiously.] Just now? To-night?

Julian.

Yes, yes; he wanted to speak with you. He seemed greatly angered.

Gallus.

Julian.
