closely enough there can be no mistaking him . You will see how
I expose him before you all.

[Enter the trumped-up "KING".]

"KING". Welcome, princes, to our kingdom! I trust your
reception has been properly looked after by my officials?

KINGS. [with feigned courtesy] Oh yes--nothing was lacking in
the reception.

KANCHI. If there was any shortcoming at all, it has been made up
by the honour of our sight of your Majesty.

"KING". We do not show ourselves to the general public, but your
great devotion and loyalty to us has made it a pleasure for us
not to deny ourselves to you.

KANCHI. It is truly hard for us, your Majesty, to bear the
weight of your gracious favours.

"KING". We are afraid we shall not be able to stop here long.

KANCHI. I have thought so, already: you do not quite look up to
it.

"KING". In the meantime if you have any favours to ask of us

KANCHI. We have: but we would like to speak a little more in
private.
