[DEVIL and KARL stare at each other. The DEVIL shrugs his shoulders, OLGA goes up the stairs.

HERMAN, coming through the door Oh! There you are. My dear! His Excellency is looking for you. He is about to leave.

OLGA, as if very tired All right. Please help me off with my cloak.

HERMAN

All right, darling.

[Takes off her cloak and puts it over his arm. [OLGA stands in the same gown as she had on at the beginning of the act, with her back to the audience.

OLGA, looking at KARL and DEVIL, and speaking with ironical courtliness, taking HERMAN'S arm.

Gentlemen.

[Exit HERMAN with OLGA.
