What are you doing?
Count
It seems to me it is time for me to go. For a formal call I have stayed a bit too long as it is.
Actress
Well, this evening it shall be a formal call.
Count
Do you think so?
Actress
I’ll take care of that. And now give me a last kiss, you darling little philosopher. Here, you seducer, you … sweet child, you seller of souls, you … panther. (After she has ardently kissed him several times, she thrusts him violently away) Count, you have done me a great honor.
