Jarvis. I thought that the only sensible part. I beg your pardon—but who on earth is this Maria Theresa that I am hired man to?

Princess. I—am Her Highness—Maria Theresa—Princess of Aragon.

Jarvis. Good night! You a Princess! And I have been ordering you around with a gun. (Sound of running for a moment.) Sh! (Crosses to door r., listens.) It's all right, but how am I going to get out? They've got me in a trap here.

Princess. The trunk——

Jarvis. The trunk? What about it?

Princess. I am sending it on board the Aquitania at six o'clock.

Jarvis. (Dragging trunk down stage) You mean to get in it? Good Lord, is it big enough?

Princess. I think so—and no one could possibly suspect—— (Jarvis takes out trays—locket drops out—back to audience.) Oh——

Jarvis. What is it?

Princess. It's nothing—I mean it's all right—it's just a locket.
