CARL.
In Miss Ida's room.
ADELAIDE.
Show the gentleman in here.
[Exit CARL.]
I feel somewhat embarrassed at seeing you again, Mr. Bolz; I shall take pains to conceal it.
Enter BOLZ.
BOLZ.
A poor soul has just left you, vainly seeking consolation in your philosophy. I too come as an unfortunate, for yesterday I incurred your displeasure; and but for your presence, which cut short a vexatious scene, Mr. von Senden, in the interests of social propriety, would doubtless have pitched into me still harder. I thank you for the reminder you gave me; I take it as a sign that you will not withdraw your friendly interest in me.
