Mrs Jennings. Oh, pretty much all over—to Germany, to Italy, and to all sorts of foreign watering places.

Duke [starting]. Foreign watering places? Have you ever met any Russian Princesses?

Mrs Jennings. Russian Princesses! I should think so, all over the place. They're as common as blackberries!

Duke [disconcerted]. As common as blackberries!

Mrs Jennings. Oh, dear, yes! Russian Princesses of all kinds, good, bad, and indifferent.

Duke. I wonder to which of those kinds a Princess belongs that I am interested in?

Mrs Jennings. What's her name?

Duke. Princess Blakowska—

Mrs Jennings. Oh, I know her quite well.

Duke [thrilled]. You know her?
