"In Dolhanski it is easier to see the bottom."
"And at that bottom, Panna Kajetana."
"At present it may, in truth, be so. Do you know that Dolhanski brought those ladies with him on the train which followed ours? He told me also that they would at once pay a visit to your mother and Pani Otocka."
"You will really call upon them to-day?"
"Yes, I call there daily. But as you are not permitted to go out, I will invite the ladies to come here to-morrow afternoon for tea."
"I thank you most heartily. I am not allowed to go out but I could drive over."
"My servant told me that by order of the Party a strike of the hackdrivers will begin to-morrow morning."
"Then how can those ladies ride over here to-morrow?"
"In the private carriages. Unless they are forbidden to ride in private.--"
"In that case Mother will be unable to see me."
