SCENE: Is that archeolological mystery, a Greek interior. A door
on the right leads to the KING'S library, one on the left to the
apartments of the QUEEN. Back right is the main entrance leading
to the palace. Next this, running the full length of the wall, is
a window with a platform, built out over the main court. Beyond
is a view of hills bright with lemon groves, and in the far
distance shimmers the sea.
