Von Bremer.

I couldn’t come before. I have only just received the answer to my telegram.

Jack Straw.

Have you good news for me?

Von Bremer.

The best. The Emperor agrees to all your wishes.

Jack Straw.

Bless his old head.

Von Bremer.

His Majesty is all eagerness to see you again. He is expecting a letter from you by every post. [He goes up to Ethel.] Madam, I am commanded by my august master to offer you his most cordial greeting.
