Yes.
PRINCE
But why?
COUNT
Oh, I think I can guess. You see, she has never put her foot in this place, of course, and I have been promising her all the time that she could come here once to have a look at the house and the park before she married. Her standing grievance has always been that I couldn't receive her here. On account of Mizzie, you know. Which she has understood perfectly well. And to sneak her in here some time when Mizzie was not at home—well, for that kind of thing I have never had any taste. And so she sends me a telephone message, that the marriage is set for the day after to-morrow, and that she is on her way here now.
PRINCE
Well, what of it? She is not coming here as your mistress, and so I can't see that you have any reason for embarrassment.
COUNT
But to-day of all days—and with your son due at any moment.
PRINCE
