COUNT
Good morning, my dear Professor, and how are you? You have to pardon me. I was just about to go to the telephone—we are going away, you know.
PROFESSOR
Oh, are you going away? Please, don't let me detain you.
COUNT
I suppose I shall see you later, Professor. (He goes into the house)
PROFESSOR
So you are going away, Countess?
MIZZIE
Yes, to Ostend.
