And by the way, you haven't been here for ever so long.
PRINCE
You haven't missed me very much ... I fear.... Your art ... and heaven knows what else....
MIZZIE (without affectation)
Nevertheless....
PRINCE
Awfully kind of you.... (Pause)
MIZZIE
What makes you speechless to-day? Tell me something. Isn't there anything new in the world at all?
PRINCE (as if he had thought of it only that moment)
