Anton.--Very pretty, but looks as though she was made of mist. As for me, I prefer women like my wife. From such as your princess you cannot expect st.u.r.dy democrats.

Doctor.--Enough of that.

Anton.--Then I will weigh anchor and sail. I will distribute the pamphlet with your address, and then I will write another article against Husarski. If they put me in prison they shall at least have a reason for it. Good-bye.

Doctor.--If you meet a servant, tell him that I am waiting for Count Drahomir.

SCENE V.

Jozwowicz--then Drahomir.

Doctor (alone).--Let that golden-haired page go, but he must see her before he goes. This leave-taking shall be the red flag for the bull.

(Drahomir enters.) I am waiting for you, sir. Is Mr. Pretwic in the chateau?

Drahomir.--He is with the prince.

Doctor.--Count, be seated, and let us talk.

Drahomir (uneasily).--I am listening, sir.

Doctor.--You are in love with the princess.

Drahomir.--Mr. Jozwowicz!

Doctor.--On your honor--yes or no?

Drahomir.--Only G.o.d has the right to ask me such a question. I do not dare to ask myself.

Doctor.--And your conscience?

Drahomir.--And no one else.

Doctor.--Then let us turn the question. She loves you.

Drahomir.--Be silent, sir. Oh, G.o.d!

Doctor.--Your pride is broken. You knew of it?

Drahomir.--I did not wish to know it.

Doctor.--But now you are aware of it.

Drahomir.--That is the reason why I am going away from here forever.

Doctor.--It is too late, sir. You have tangled her life and now you leave her.

Drahomir.--For G.o.d's sake, what shall I do, then?

Doctor.--Go away, but not forever, and not without telling her good-bye.

Drahomir.--Why should I add the last drop to an already overflowing cup?

Doctor.--A beautiful phrase. Can you not understand that it will hurt her good name if you should go away suddenly without taking leave of her? And she--she is ill and she may not be able to bear your departure.

Drahomir.--I do not see any remedy--

Doctor.--There is only one. Find some pretext, bid her good-bye quietly, and tell her that you will be back. Otherwise it will be a heavy blow for her strength. You must leave her hope. She must not suspect anything. Perhaps later she will become accustomed to your absence--perhaps she will forget--

Drahomir.--It will be better for her to forget.

Doctor.--I will do my best, but I shall first throw a handful of earth on your memory.

Drahomir.--What shall I do, then?

Doctor.--To find a pretext to bid her good-bye, tell every one that you are going. Then come back--and go away. Mr. Pretwic also must not know anything.

Drahomir.--When shall I bid her good-bye?

Doctor.--In a moment. I told her. I will manage to be with Pretwic during that time. She will be here presently.

Drahomir.--I would prefer to die.

Doctor.--No one is certain of to-morrow. Be off now. (Drahomir goes out.)

SCENE VI.

Jozwowicz. Then a servant.

Doctor.--How warm it is here! My head is splitting. (He rings--a servant enters.) Ask Mr. Pretwic to come here. (The servant goes out.) My head is bursting--but then I will have a long peace.

SCENE VII.

Jozwowicz. George Pretwic.

George (entering).--What do you wish with me?

Doctor.--I wish to give you good advice about the princess's health.

George.--How is she?

Doctor.--Better. I allowed her to leave bed because she and Drahomir asked me to.
