[Has risen slowly and involuntarily, and stands staring at the closed door of the pavilion.] Who was that lady?

She is a stranger who has rented the little pavilion there.

A foreigner?

Presumably. At any rate they both came from abroad—about a week ago. They have never been here before.

[Decidedly; looking at him.] It was she I saw in the park last night.

No doubt it must have been. I thought so from the first.

What is this lady's name, Inspector?

She has registered herself as "Madame de Satow, with companion." We know nothing more.

[Reflecting.] Satow? Satow—?

MAIA. [Laughing mockingly.] Do you know any one of that name, Rubek? Eh?
