The Count asks Figaro if he knows who wrote the letter. Figaro denies all knowledge of it, blockishly failing to respond to the barrage of nods, winks and hints from the two loadies. Stalemate is reached. The Count is in urgend need of more allies if he is to delay Susanna's wedding (Marcellina is his best hope) when in staggers the gardener, Antonio, brandishing a pot of carnations shattered, he says, by a young man jumping from a balcony. There is confusion all round until Figaro, his wits newly restored, insists that hi is the offender. "I thought of the letter," says Figaro, "and jumped out confused by fear." He is busy embellishing this falsehood with a limp when Antonio produces a packet of papers dropped by the escapee. The Count seizes them and akss Figaro to identify them. Propmted by the two ladies, he manages to work out that it must be Cherubino's commission: unsealed, which is why (he haltingly claims) it has been returned to the castle.

No libretto this time due to the senseless limit of 1000 words, sorry.
