Prussian Majesty asks the Durchlaucht and Spouse, 'Whether the Marriage, some time treated of, between that their Princess here present, and this his Crown-Prince likewise here, is really a thing to their mind ?' Serene Spouses answer, to the effect, 'Yea, surely, very much!' Upon which they all solemnly ascend to the Royal Apartments [upstairs where we have seen Wilhelmina dancing before now], where Lorraine, Wurtemberg and the other sublimities are in waiting.

Lorraine and the sublimities form a semicircle; with the two Majesties, and pair of young creatures, in the centre.

You young creatures, you are of one intention with your parents in this matter?
Alas, there is no doubt of it.

Pledge yourselves, then, by exchange of rings! said his Majesty with due business brevity.

The rings are exchanged: Majesty embraces the two young creatures with great tenderness;" as do Queen and Serenities; and then all the world takes to embracing and congratulating; and so the betrothal is a finished thing.
