(Enter Kurt.)
Kurt. (To Stengel who is coming in) Courage, courage, my boy! Come in.
Trast. (Recognising Kurt as he comes in with Brandt) He--here!
Kurt. (Sees Trast; startled, goes up to him, in a low voice) You wished to see me, sir?
Trast. No, but I'm glad to see you.
Kurt. With whom have I the honor----?
Trast. Count Trast.
Kurt. (Astonished and very polite) Ah, we may thank--thank--our employe--er--our--a traveling acquaintanceship, I suppose--for this visit?
Trast. You are the son of the house?
Kurt. I beg your pardon, yes! At your service! Naturally--ah, Count, we are both men-of-the world enough to forget the affair of last night.
