Antoinette. Now and then, for pastime!
Laskowski. Now don't you say a word, dearie! Why, you're pasted on a horse all day long, and then from horseback right into the cold, cold water. Did anybody ever hear the like of it?
Paul (to Antoinette). Yesterday I had a horseback ride again too, madam. Have I told you about it? The first time in years. And, what is more, I got quite near your place. I was even able to see the houses of Klonowken.
Antoinette. Did you ride through the forest?
Paul. Of course, through the pine forest of Klonowken, yesterday morning. Right through the snow.
Antoinette. Why, I was out at the same time.
Paul (looks at her). You were, madam? Too bad! Why did we not chance to meet?
Antoinette. I suppose it was not ordained so.
Laskowski (after drinking again). I say, dearie, one of these days when I die, do you know what I'll do?
Mertens. If one of us dies, I'll go to Karlsbad, eh, Laskowski?
