MIMI
Oh, yes; but tonight he goes to the artists' dinner, and I have to find his dress studs, and iron a tie for him, and trim his cuffs.
[Makes gesture of cutting with scissors outside the edge of her cuff.
Good-bye.
[Goes out quickly.
ELSA
[Looks after MIMI, then around the room, suddenly begins to sob, and calls in frightened voice:
Mimi! Mimi!
[Runs off.
[DEVIL enters just as ELSA leaves.
[DEVIL rings bell on table.
