First Act

The Field Marshal's Wife's bedroom. To the left in an alcove the large tent-shaped four-poster bed. Next to the bed a three-part Chinese screen, behind which clothes lie. Furthermore, a small table and a few seats. On an armchair to the left lies a sword in its scabbard. To the right large double doors into the anteroom. In the middle a small door set into the wall is barely visible. Otherwise no doors. In the alcove on the right is a dressing table and a few chairs against the wall. Armchairs and two small sofas. The curtains of the bed are pulled back. Octavian kneels on a stool in front of the sofa on the left and has the Field Marshal's Wife, who is lying in the corner of the sofa, half embraced. One does not see her face, but only her very beautiful hand and arm, from which the lace shirt falls. The bright morning sun streams in through the half-opened window. One hears birds singing in the garden.

OCTAVIAN.

How you were! How you are! No one knows that, no one suspects that!

MARSHALIN (straightens up in the cushions).

Are you complaining about that, Quinquin?
