Richard.

I wish you would. I should like to know who has put him up to this. He won't tell me.

Enter Beata, with Baron Ludwig von Völkerlingk.

Beata.

May we join you? Don't let us break up your party.

Baron Ludwig.

(Advancing toward the other men.) Will you allow me?

Beata (to Michael, in a low tone).

Well, are you enjoying yourself?

Kellinghausen.
