And since Giovanni is not even married? However, to finish my story: it was not the Potensi with your hero, but Favorita." "Favorita the dancer? Zoya, what do you mean?" "Exactly what I tell you."
And that Potensi?" With an expression more troubled than angry, the princess answered gently, "Of course, my child, I don't side against you but I can't believe that they were really as you thought they were."
"It is the very saddest thing I have ever heard of." Then her tone changed. "I would not waste too much sympathy on him for his loneliness, however," she said briskly, "as he has a very charming companion, who, if accounts are true, is not only diverting but devoted. That spoils your sad picture somewhat, does it not?" "The Potensi!" escaped Nina's lips before she knew it.

Scorpa, Giovanni, Carpazzi, Zoya Olisco, all struck such strident notes that their vibrations jangled. Another act and entr'acte passed. Nina saw Giovanni enter the box of the Contessa Potensi. In contrast to her greeting across the house, she seemed now scarcely to speak to him.
