KARL, not quite grasping it

An opera cloak?

DEVIL, suggestively

That's all.

KARL

You mean to tell me—she—

DEVIL

She will be here in a moment—and then—before all Vienna—amid the bacchanalian ecstasy—of music, perfume, dancing—I will escort her through the ball-room like a classic goddess—like a modern Mona Vanna—in an opera cloak—

KARL

You liar!
