For the Count's daughter, it must have been a normal journey from her father's summer residence to his urban estate. The girl silently contemplates the scenery through the carriage window, but there is a rumbling noise. The girl looks round in fright and tries to get out of the carriage, but the door opened in front of her - a brigand looks at her. He smiles, and afterwards shouts: "Hood, there's a present for us here. It's the Count's daughter" shouts the brigand and pulls her outside without gentleness. The young lady nearly falls to the ground but is kept on her feet. A tall man in a cloak slowly approaches her. "How lovely" the hooded man grins. "We're taking her with us. She is very expensive," he says and looks at her appraisingly.
