[Stanswood lays Serenella on a table in the church after she is shoot by an archer for being out passed curfew]

Serenella Arconti:
Thomas?

Thomas Stanswood:
You're going to be alright.

Serenella Arconti:
Was... was it wrong to defy Don Carlos and Orietta?

Thomas Stanswood:
No. You're right to hate tyranny and oppression. Your people must be very proud of you.

Serenella Arconti:
Are... are you proud of me, Thomas?

Thomas Stanswood:
Yes, very proud. Remember you wanted me to take you to England?

Serenella Arconti:
Yes.

Thomas Stanswood:
You still want to go?

Serenella Arconti:
Oh yes, more than ever!

Thomas Stanswood:
Alright then, we'll go. Together.

Serenella Arconti:
How wonderful! [moves in pain] Will... will it be a long journey?

Thomas Stanswood:
No. You'll be there in no time at all.

Serenella Arconti:
I'll ride with you through the green fields and the quiet peaceful countryside and... and sew for you and... play the- [Dies]

Thomas Stanswood:
[Holds her]

Thomas Stanswood:
[Stanswood approaches a wooded area on horseback, sees Orietta in the road and dismounts]

Thomas Stanswood:
[Bows] My lady.

Orietta Arconti:
[Draws her sword] Attack me!

Thomas Stanswood:
With pleasure. [Draws his sword and approaches]

Thomas Stanswood:
[Embracing Orietta] Did they teach you this one? Hm? [They kiss]

Thomas Stanswood:
I prefer swords by day to daggers by night. Don't you?

Orietta Arconti:
Do you always report to your post without your jacket?

Thomas Stanswood:
No buttons, my lady. No buttons!
