George Pretwic, Stella's fiancé. Karol Count Drahomir, Pretwic's friend. Countess Miliszewska. Jan Count Miliszewski. Anton Zuk, secretary of the county. Dr. Jozwowicz. Mrs. Czeska. Mr. Podczaski. Servants. The stage represents a drawing-room with the principal door leading to the garden. There are also side doors to the other rooms. Princess Stella. Mrs. Czeska. Czeska.
Czeska. No, my little kitten rest easy. You know I am laughed at for seeing everything in a rosy hue. He belongs to a good family, he is young, rich, good-looking, well-bred, but Stella. But what? Czeska. A bird must have sung it, because I cannot remember who told me that he is a little bit like a storm. Stella. Yes, his life has been stormy, but he was not broken by it. Czeska.
Drahomir. George, I recognized you there. Czeska. But now, I think, he will stop fighting. Stella. Who knows? George. I am sure of it. Doctor. As for me, I was his worst soldier. I never was fond of playing that way. Prince. Because those are the distractions of the nobility and not of a doctor. Doctor. We begin to quarrel already.
I love him, it is true, but sometimes it seems to me that I could love still more that all my heart is not in that love, and then I am unhappy. Czeska. But I cannot understand that. I take life simply. I love, or I do not love. Well Stella, the world is so cleverly constructed, and God is so good that there is nothing more easy than to be happy. But one must not make a tangle of God's affairs.
He is twice a doctor he is an intelligent man. One can see that by merely looking at him. Stella. Very much so. Czeska. So intelligent that I am afraid of him. Drahomir. But the prince must be satisfied. Prince. Satisfied, satisfied! He has lost his common sense. He became a democrat a sans culotte. But he is a good doctor, and I am sick. I have some stomach trouble. Drahomir.
You wished to speak to me? Doctor. Yes, madam. I am going to get the money and I will be back in a moment. Doctor. Very well. Czeska. Who is that gentleman? Doctor. A pilot. Czeska. What do you mean? Doctor. He guides the boat in which I am sailing. As for the rest, he is a horribly honest man. Czeska. I do not understand very well. What did you wish to speak to me about? Doctor.
There was a moment when my life was suspended by one thread Karol rescued me then, and for that I love him as a brother; and then Czeska. Stella told me. You lived far from here? George. I was in the empty steppe, half wild myself, among strangers, therefore very sad and longing for the country. Sometimes there was not a living soul around me. Czeska. God was over the stars. George.
Bayards are not appreciated nowadays. Czeska. Providence is above all. Drahomir. I believe it also. Doctor. Were I a mathematician, without contradicting you I would say that, as in many cases we do not know what X equals, we must take care of ourselves. Prince. What are you saying? Stella. Doctor, pray do not talk so sceptically, or there will be a war not with papa, but with me. Doctor.
In a few moments the committee will be here to see you. Doctor. Very well. The prince is coming with the Countess Miliszewska and her son, my opponent. Let us be going. Prince, Stella, Mrs. Czeska, Countess Miliszewska, Jan Miliszewski, Podczaski. Countess. It is impossible to understand. The world grows wild nowadays. Prince. I say the same. Stella, do I not say so? Stella. Very often.
That is quite different. But a heart thrown on earth must love some one. Therefore, with all this capacity for love, I prayed to God that he permit me to love some one. He has granted my prayer, and has given her to me. Do you understand me now? Czeska. Yes, I do understand you! George. How quickly everything has changed.
