He has not been here for a long time, but how sympathetic, how gay he is. Well, my old eyes would be gladdened by seeing you both together. I should at once think what a splendid couple. Perhaps there will be something in it. Stella. There will be nothing in it, because Count Drahomir, although very sympathetic, is not my fiancé. I am betrothed to Mr. Pretwic. Czeska. Mr. George Pretwic? Stella.
Speak I will rest in the mean while but speak frankly. Doctor. I will be frank with you. Anton. What more? Doctor. That marriage will be broken off. Anton. Why. Doctor. Because there are times when these people do not succeed in anything. Anton. To the garret with those peacocks. And what about that cannibal Pretwic? Doctor. A long story.
I do not understand how can I be useful to you? Jan. You can do anything in this house, so you must help me secretly, to be refused. Doctor. Count, you may rely on me in that matter. Jan. Thank you. Doctor. And it will be so much the easier done because the princess is betrothed. Jan. I did not know that any one dared to compete with me. What an idea! George Pretwic. Jan.
If there were no more serious wounds in the world, courage would be sold in all the markets. Only a slight scratch Stella. Mr. Pretwic, how did it happen? George. When it happened I was at the other end of the village, and I could not see anything on account of the smoke. I was only told that Karol had jumped into a burning house. Stella. Oh, Lord! I see that my deed gains with distance. Czeska.
He is an honest man, too. Prince. Honest? Very well, then, but you are better because you are not a democrat. Drahomir, I love you. Stella, I love him Ah! She is not here. Drahomir. Thank you, prince. Prince. If I had another daughter, I would well Drahomir. Prince, pray do not speak that way. Prince. Come, have a cigar with me. We will call the others and have a talk. Jozwowicz! Pretwic!
Pretwic to fight with such a poor thing. Stella. The doctor is right. I do not understand Mr. Pretwic. Doctor. Our princess must not be irritated. I have made peace between them. Mr. Pretwic did not grasp the real situation and his naturally sanguine disposition carried him away. But now that I have explained to him, he agrees that it would be too utterly ridiculous. Drahomir.
I must prevent the adventure from going too far. Anton. I wanted to tell you that I must buy some food for my children. I will return the money later on. Is it all right? Doctor. How can you ask? Stella and Drahomir. Stella. That walk tired me. Where is Mr. Pretwic? Drahomir. Young Miliszewski asked to speak to him a moment. The countess is speaking to the prince.
If that is so, he is a very precious man. Stella. We owe him eternal gratitude. He will also be necessary to Pretwic. What, Stella, will he not? Papa, how can I know that? Drahomir. Truly, I sometimes envy those stalwart men. During the battle they strengthen in themselves the force which lessens and disappears in us, because nothing nourishes it.
What are your orders, Your Highness? Prince. You, Robespièrre, come and have a cigar. Thank you, my boy. You have rid me of the countess. Doctor. I will send for Pretwic, and we will join you. Pretwic to come here. Anton was right. I am helping along the logic. But I do not like the sap because I am accustomed to break. Pretwic. Jozwowicz. George. I was looking for you. Doctor.
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.
