No, indeed—bear that in mind.
FELIX (enters)
Oh, is that you, Mr. von Sala? (They shake hands) Well, how far have you got with your preparations?
SALA
There are hardly any needed. I shall pack my trunk, pull down the shades, lock the doors—and be off for the mysteries of far-away. There is something I want to ask you apropos of that, Felix. Would you care to come along?
FELIX (startled)
If I care.... Are you asking seriously, Mr. von Sala?
SALA
There is just so much seriousness in my question as you wish to put into it.
FELIX
