But madam, what can I do? Countess. And who is Mr. Jozwowicz a physician? What does a doctor amount to? Jan has influence, importance, social position, relatives and what has the doctor? From whence did he come here? Who ever heard of him? Really, I cannot speak calmly, and I think it must be the end of the world. Is it not, Mr. Podczaski? Yes, countess, God's wrath.
Yes, you have been agitating against me in favor of Count Miliszewski. Podczaski. No, not at all, sir. Well, sir, it was so, but I am going to change that, and you may be certain Doctor. In a word, what do you wish, sir? Podczaski.
Podczaski. The count does even look like a diplomat. Well, not very much. Czeska. The count does not have much to say. Jan. No, madam, but sometimes I speak quite enough. Countess. For my part, I declare that if Jan is not elected, we will leave the country. Podczaski. They will be guilty of it. Countess. It will be the fault of the prince. Prince. Mine? Countess.
Jan, let us be going. I shall not go. Why did you return from the city? Countess. For you. To-day is election day have you forgotten it? Jan. I do not wish to be a member of parliament. Why did you tell her that Pretwic was killed? The same. Jozwowicz. Countess and Jan together. What news? Doctor. Everything is over. What, the bell of the chapel? Then she is dead! The same. Podczaski. Victory!
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.
I remained alone and I cannot find my way to the prince's apartment. Mr. Podczaski, what are you doing here? Podczaski. Your servant, sir. Well, I came to consult the doctor I have rheumatism in my feet. Jan. Doctor, will you be kind enough to show me to the Prince's apartment? Doctor. They are in the left wing of the château. Jan. Thank you. But later I would like to have a talk with you.
Jan was always an excellent student in Metz. Jan, were you not a good student? Jan. Yes, mamma. Podczaski. Countess, you are perfectly right. It is the end of the world. Stella. What did you study especially? Jan. I, madam? I studied the history of heresy. Princess. Mrs. Czeska what? Have studied what? Countess. They reproach us with not having talent, but for diplomacy one must have talent.
God sees, sir, that I served the countess faithfully, and it cost me quite a little, but on consulting my conscience I have concluded not to act any more against such a man as you, sir, for the sake of the country. Doctor. I appreciate your sentiments, which are those of a good citizen. You do not wish to act against me any longer? Podczaski. No, sir! Doctor. You are right. Then you are with me?
If you had not come the last time, you would have lost the battle, because Miliszewski has withdrawn and his partisans vote for Husarski. Podczaski is good for nothing. Your speech in the city hall was splendid. May thunder strike you! Your address was admired even by your enemies. Oh, we will at last be able to do something.
Podczaski. Tell the Doctor that Mr. Podczaski wishes to see him on an important matter. Servant. The Doctor is very busy. The princess is ill. I have enough of this work for nothing. The countess sends me about to agitate for her, but when I ask her for some money, she answers: We shall see about it after the election. She is an aristocrat and she refuses a hundred florins to a nobleman.
