Him I met.
He will be here himself immediately.
Butler remains unshaken.

COUNTESS.
Let him not leave thee, sister! go, detain him!
There's some misfortune.

DUCHESS. (clinging to him.)
Gracious heaven! What is it?
Gracious heaven! What is it?
WALLENSTEIN.
Be tranquil! leave me, sister! dearest wife!
We are in camp, and this is nought unusual;
Here storm and sunshine follow one another
With rapid interchanges. These fierce spirits
Champ the curb angrily, and never yet
Did quiet bless the temples of the leader.
If I am to stay, go you. The plaints of women
Ill suit the scene where men must act.
(He is going: Tertsky returns.)
