Enough, children! Enough!
Mancini
Calm yourself, calm yourself, my child. How they all love you! [Taking a step forward] Ladies and gentlemen, Baron Regnard did me the honour yesterday, to ask for the hand of my daughter, the Countess Veronica, whom you knew under the name of Consuelo. Please take your glasses.
Consuelo
No, I am still Consuelo, to-night, and I shall always be Consuelo! Zinida, dear! [Falls on the neck of Zinida. Fresh applause.]
Briquet
Stop it! Silence! Take your glasses. What are you standing here for? If you came, then take the glasses.
Tilly
[Trembling]: They are frightened. You take yours first, Papa, and we will follow.
[They take the glasses. Consuelo is near the Baron, holding the sleeve of his dress coat with her left hand. In her right hand, she has a glass of champagne, which spills over.]
