Some servants follow her and run across the stage. NEUBRUNN. Help! Help! ILLO and TERZKY (at the same time). What now? NEUBRUNN. The princess! WALLENSTEIN and TERZKY. Does she know it? NEUBRUNN (at the same time with them). She is dying! [Hurries off the stage, when WALLENSTEIN and TERZKY follow her.
