[Scene: A living-room well furnished in an old fashioned style but not shabbily. An open fire-place which is practical. A sofa. A writing desk. A closet at the back. Door leading into Anna's room at the left. Window at the right.
Paolo discovered seated at the writing desk upon which there is a confusion of papers.]
[Servant—Maddalena enters.]
Paolo. Well, has he returned yet?
Maddalena. Not yet.
Paolo. He has taken a lot of time!
