Ebeling (kissing her hand).

A thousand times welcome, dear ladies. (Shakes hands with Margot.)

Frau v. Yburg.

Good evening, Herr von Tietz. This is indeed a pleasure. (Gives him her hand.)

v. Tietz.

I'm very happy to meet you both--I hadn't hoped to see Fräulein Yburg here. But our friend believes in military promptitude. I have just received permission to take my leave.

Frau v. Yburg.

I hope that you will come to see us soon, Herr von Tietz.

v. Tietz.

That's very kind of you. (Bowing to Margot.) Fräulein Yburg!
