Gerardo. Well, then, we must catch this one. I will just have time to go over the second act. Unless I go over that.... Now don't let anybody.... I am out to everybody.
Valet. All right, sir. There are some letters for you, sir.
Gerardo. I have seen them.
Valet. And flowers!
Gerardo. Yes. all right. [He takes the letters from the tray and throws them on a chair before the piano. Then he opens the letters, glances over them with beaming eyes, crumples them up and throws them under the chair.] Remember! I am out to everybody.
Valet. I know, sir. [He locks the trunks.]
Gerardo. To everybody.
Valet. You needn't worry, sir. [Giving him the trunk keys.] Here are the keys, sir.
Gerardo [pocketing the keys]. To everybody!
Valet. The trunks will be taken down at once. [He goes out.]
