Frau Mulbridge.
Sh! The Lieutenant!
Mulbridge (to the Groom).
Go on! (Pushes the Groom out, left.)
(Lieutenant von Wolters enters. He is an attractive young officer, very smart in appearance, wearing the uniform of an Uhlan. Kellermann, a self-possessed, sharp-eyed man, follows him. While they are entering, Tempski comes in at the right, quietly places a wreath on one of the piles near the columns, and goes out again.)
v. Wolters.
Well, Herr-- (He puts his hand to his eyes, overcome for the moment, then stiffly, trying to conceal his emotion.) Herr--Kellermann was the name, wasn't it?
Kellermann.
At your service, Lieutenant.
v. Wolters.
