[Re-enter Vetrova, right]

Vet. [Respectfully] Will the lady take a cup of tea in the garden with Catherine and my little granddaughter?

Soph. Gladly. [To Adrian] She must know me.

[Vetrova holds the door open for her]

[Vera's voice without] O, you have come! This way to the garden.

[Vetrova closes the door and crosses to Adrian, who stands motionless, apparently not seeing Vetrova]

Vet. A sweet lady.

Adr. [To himself] The princess!

Vet. Eh, yes, she steps like one. But not so pretty as our Vera.
