MIZZIE (appears; she is thirty-seven, but still very attractive; wears a Florentine straw hat and a white dress; she gives the Count a kiss before holding out her hand to the Prince) Well, how do you do, Prince Egon? We don't see much of you these days.
PRINCE
Thank you.—Have you been very industrious?
MIZZIE
Painting a few flowers.
COUNT

MIZZIE
That's so, perhaps. But I have no ambition of that kind.
PRINCE
