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.
