Ernest, Don Julian, and Teodora.

Teodora. [Outside.] Julian, Julian!

D. Julian. It's Teodora.

Teodora. Are you there, Julian?

D. Julian. [Going to the door.] Yes, I'm here. Come in.

Teodora. [Entering.] Good-evening, Ernest.

Ernest. Good-evening, Teodora. Was the singing good?

Teodora. As usual; and have you been working much?

Ernest. As usual; nothing.

Teodora. Then you'd have done better to come with us. They all asked after you.
