Anton.—Jozwowicz, you have done all this.
Doctor.—Yes, it is I, I crushed those who were in my way, and I shall act the same always. You have me such as I am.
Anton.—If so, I am no longer in a hurry. Do you know what I am going to tell you?
Doctor.—You must go for a while. The princess is coming. (He opens the door of a side room.) Go in there for a moment.
SCENE IV.
Jozwowicz and Stella.
Stella.—Doctor, what is the matter in this house?
Doctor.—What do you mean, princess?
Stella.—Mr. Pretwic came to tell me good-bye. He was very much changed and asked me to forgive him if he ever offended me.
Doctor (aside).—A sentimental ass.
