Saloon in the PRESIDENT'S House.
FERDINAND VON WALTER enters in great excitement with an open letter
in his hand, and is met by a SERVANT.
FERDINAND
Is the marshal here?
SERVANT
My lord, his highness the president is inquiring for you.
FERDINAND
Fire and fury! I ask is the marshal here?
SERVANT
His honor is engaged at the faro-table, above stairs.
FERDINAND
Tell his honor, in the name of all the devils in hell, to make his appearance this instant!
[Exit SERVANT.]
