SCENE VI.
The same Servant.
Servant.—Tea is served.
George.—I must bid you good-bye.
Stella.—Why, why are you going so early to-night?
Doctor (aside).—My old schoolmate is at home here.
George.—You must excuse me. I am very happy with you, but to-night I must be going home. I will leave Drahomir—he will replace me.
Stella.—To be angry with you would be to make you conceited. But you must tell me why you are going.
George.—The people who have lost their homes by fire are in my house.
I must give some orders and provide for their necessities.
Czeska (aside).—He is sacrificing pleasure to duty. (Aloud.) Stella!
