MAGDA.

[Politely.] Oh, I'm sorry for that.

MRS. ELLRICH.

Naturally, you only do it for pleasure.

MAGDA.

Oh, it's so much pleasure! [Aside to Mrs. Schwartze, who sits near her.] Get these women away, or I shall be rude!

MRS. VON KLEBS.

Are you really engaged by a theatre, my dear young lady?

MAGDA.

[ Very sweetly.] Sometimes, my dear madam.
