That "no" trails consequence. It can not be Your period.

_Cha._ They are enemies.

_Her._ He's loyal to my father. I know that Of him,--and of Emilio--nothing.

_Cha._ Sweet, I beg one day!

_Her._ One day? What's hatching here That's one day short its time?

[_Enter, lower right, Hudibrand, Megario, and Borduc_]

_Cha._ [_Drawing Hernda aside_] To-morrow, love!

_Her._ To-night!

_Hud._ You've won your suit, Megario.

If by our presence in your Goldusan We can advance that sister country's peace.

The journey's naught. We'll count it done.

_Hud._ You've our word.
