Kellermann (blowing off the dust).

If it doesn't fall to pieces. (Hands it to her.) Ah, yes, many, many loved him! He had a beautiful life, he had a beautiful death, and, as for a beautiful funeral--just leave that to Kellermann! (Takes his hat.) I'll be back again for the procession. Good evening, ladies.

Frau Mulbridge.

Good evening. (To Daisy, seeing her take off her coat.) I thought you said you were going out?

Daisy.

Oh, well, I've changed my mind now.

Frau Mulbridge.

I'm glad, because one feels so--so alone in here.

v. Daisy (with a glance backward).

But we are not alone yet.
