All's Well That Ends Well
Act III, Scene IV – Rousillon – The Count's Palace
The Countess/Yugi—appearing quite upset because of Helena's/Joey's midnight departure—and the Steward entered the stage gradually.
"Alas! Why has Helena sent me a farewell letter? May you please read it again?" the Countess/Yugi said sorrowfully.
The Steward held up the letter and began reading. "'I am so sorry to leave you, but I must. I am the one who is responsible for this entire mess and I can only hope that Bertram will now feel free to come home. I have gone off on a pilgrimage and I will never return. I wish you the best. Helena.'"
The Countess/Yugi strode around the stage angrily. "Oh! Bertram enrages me so! I can sense the pain and hurt in Helena's dear words. If only I had known she would have left. I would have persuaded her not to."
"Pardon me, Madam. If I had given you this overnight, Helena might have been overtaken, and yet she writes that pursuing her would be in vain," replied the Steward.
"I want you to send a message to Bertram. He is such an unworthy husband to treat sweet Helena so. My grief is so unbearable. But dispatch the most reliable messenger you have and let him inform Bertram of Helena's departure. Hopefully, when he hears that she is gone, he will return home. And I hope that Helena, hearing that Bertram returns home, will come back, as well, because of the pure love she feels for him. Go now. Inform the messenger to tell Bertram of Helena's leaving," said the Countess/Yugi desolately as the both of them left the stage.
