Lady. And who is to be Aero?
Betsy. I am. And I have had a costume made, but mamma says it's "not decent." And it is not a bit less decent than a ball dress. (To THEODORE IVÁNITCH.) Is Bourdier's man here?
Theodore Ivánitch. Yes, he is waiting in the kitchen.
Lady. Well, and how will you represent Aeronaut?
Betsy. Oh, you'll see. I don't want to spoil the pleasure for you. Au revoir.
Lady. Good-bye!
[They bow. Exit LADY.
Betsy (to KOKO KLÍNGEN). Come up to mamma.
[BETSY and KOKO go upstairs. JACOB enters from servants' quarters, carrying a tray with teacups, cakes, etc., and goes panting across the stage.
Jacob (to the FOOTMEN). How d'you do? How d'you do?
