PHILIP
I regard myself as greatly honored, Count.
COUNT (giving his hand to Philip)
I bid you welcome to my house. Please consider yourself at home here.—I don't think any further introductions are required.
MIZZIE
No, papa.
COUNT (slightly embarrassed)
It's very charming of you, my dear lady. Of course, you know better than anybody that I have always been one of your admirers.... But tell me, please, how in the world did you get out here? I have just been taking a walk along the main road, where every carriage has to pass, and I didn't see you.
LOLO
What do you take me for, Count? My cab days are past now. I came by the train, which is the proper thing for me.
