FRANZISKA.
It's all in the point of view, dear Magda.
MRS. VON KLEBS.
Ah, we're so far removed from all these ideas, my dear young lady. Every now and then some person gives lectures here, but the good families have nothing to do with it.
MAGDA.
[Politely.] Oh, I can quite understand that. The good families need nothing, as they have plenty to eat. [A silence.]
MRS. ELLRICH.
But at least you must have some residence?
MAGDA.
If you call it so,--a place to sleep. Yes, I have a villa by the Lake of Como and an estate at Naples. [Sensation.]
