MIZZIE

Yes.

COUNT (puts his arms about her)

PROFESSOR WINDHOFER (appears at the garden gate)

COUNT

Why, there's the professor. Have you a lesson to-day?

MIZZIE

I had forgotten it, too.

PROFESSOR (handsome; about thirty-five; his beard is blond and trimmed to a point; he is very carefully dressed, and wears a gray overcoat; he takes off his hat as he enters the garden and comes forward)

Good morning, Countess. How do you do, Count?
