MRS. IS. Oh, Prince Hagen, a most beautiful evening you've given us.
HAGEN. Ah! I'm glad if you've enjoyed it.
MRS. IS. Yes, indeed...
IS. Prince Hagen, may I have a few words with you?
HAGEN. Why, surely... if you wish...
IS. I do.
MRS. IS. Prince Hagen will excuse me. [Exit, left.]
HAGEN. [Goes to table, centre, and sits opposite ISMAN.] Well?
IS. Prince Hagen, what do you want with me?
HAGEN. [Surprised.] Why... the pleasure of your company.
