SALA
Yes, a piece of real woods—all you have to do is to forget the fence.—What brought you anyhow? I didn't expect you until to-morrow morning. Have you really made up your mind already?
JULIAN
Am I in the way?
FELIX
Oh, no. There is nothing secret about it.—I accept your offer, Mr. von Sala, and ask if you would be kind enough to speak to Count Ronsky.
SALA (shaking Felix by the hand)
I am glad of it.... (To Julian) It has to do with our Asiatic venture.
JULIAN
What?—You intend to join the expedition?
