We rushed Pretwic advanced two steps, knelt and tried to speak. The blood flowed from his mouth. Then he took up the pistol and fired to one side. We were around him and he said to Drahomir: "You have done me a favor and I thank you. This life belonged to you, because you saved it. Forgive me," he said, "brother!" Then he said: "Give me your hand" and expired. Poor Princess Stella.
Doctor. I know nothing about it. Count, what is the matter with you? You are so pale. Jan. Nothing. It is on account of the heat. Prince. Jozwowicz, Pretwic told me Countess. Jan, where is my Jan? O God, what is the matter? How dreadful! Be silent, madam. Stella. What has happened? Countess. Then you have not killed Pretwic? You have not fought? Doctor. Madam, be silent. Stella. Who is killed?
Truly, if you, count, are lacking in boldness, I am going to help you out, and I ask you: And you, sir? Drahomir. Doctor, be careful. Doctor. I hear some lyrical tone. Drahomir. Let us finish this conversation. Doctor. As you say, although I can speak quietly, and in order to change the conversation, I prefer to ask you: Do you think she will be happy with Mr. Pretwic? Drahomir. What a question!
What then do you suppose will happen? Doctor. I do not know. Pretwic is a passionate man. He does not foresee anything I see only the logic of things which is favorable to me, and I shall not be stupid enough to place any obstacles to my happiness. Anton. I am sure you will help it along in case of need. Doctor. Well, I am a physician. It is my duty to assist nature. Anton. The programme is ready.
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. Jozwowicz. Then a servant. Doctor. How warm it is here! My head is splitting. Pretwic to come here. Jozwowicz. George Pretwic. What do you wish with me? Doctor. I wish to give you good advice about the princess's health. George.
In former times, centuries ago, the Pretwics were related to our family. It is a very good family. Otherwise papa would not have consented. Well then, Mr. Pretwic came here, took possession of the Jazlowieckis estate, became acquainted with us, and Czeska. And fell in love with you. I should have done the same if I were in his place. It gives him more value in my eyes. Stella. Has he needed it?
Before his lordship to give up everything for his sake? No! You do not know me. Enough of sentiment. A certain force is necessary and I have it, and I shall make a road for myself and for all of you even if I should be obliged to trample over a hundred such as Pretwic. Anton. No, Jozwowicz, you have always done as you wanted with me, but now you cannot do it.
Czeska You have mine also as for Mr. Pretwic, I have a bone to pick with him. George Why, dear madam? Czeska. Because you are a bad boy. Stella. Mother, I see you wish to flirt with Mr. Pretwic. Czeska. Be quiet, you giddy thing. May I not compete with you? But you must remember, you Mayflower, that before every autumn there is a spring. Well, be off!
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. 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.
We do not know how to handle the women, but there is not a coward in our family. I know that people laugh at me, but the one who would dare to call me a coward would not laugh. I will show them at once that I am not a coward. Where is Mr. Pretwic? Doctor. Do you see him there, near the lake? Jan. Good-bye. Jozwowicz alone then Anton. Doctor. The men who have not such sons are great! Ha! ha! ha!
