Antoinette. Very well! Then we'll go too. (The two walk erectly into the center passage.)
Hella (has opened the door at the right, enters and sees Paul and Antoinette with Aunt Clara). Paul!
Paul (turning around very calmly). Is it you, Hella?
Hella. As you see! (She stands immediately before them, looks at them with a hostile expression; to Antoinette. ) I beg your pardon, madam!
Antoinette (nods her head). Please!
Paul (coldly). What do you wish?
Hella (looks at him nonplussed, is silent a moment and then says curtly). Where is Glyszinski? I need him!
Paul (as before). There, if you please. If you will take the trouble to step into the next room ... (Laskowski and Glyszinski, arm in arm, enter from the left, followed by the other guests.)
Laskowski (very tipsy, but not completely robbed of his senses). Brother! Polish brother! Don't leave me in the lurch ... Help me find my dearie!
Antoinette (with head erect). Here I am.
