NICOLA.
Yes, sir. The mistress and Miss Raina have just gone in.
PETKOFF.
(sitting down and taking a roll). Go in and say I’ve come; and get me some fresh coffee.
NICOLA.
It’s coming, sir. (He goes to the house door. Louka, with fresh coffee, a clean cup, and a brandy bottle on her tray meets him.) Have you told the mistress?
LOUKA.
Yes: she’s coming.
(Nicola goes into the house. Louka brings the coffee to the table.)
PETKOFF.
Well, the Servians haven’t run away with you, have they?
LOUKA.
No, sir.
PETKOFF.
That’s right. Have you brought me some cognac?
LOUKA.
(putting the bottle on the table). Here, sir.
PETKOFF.
That’s right. (He pours some into his coffee.)
