"At what time do you wish to invite them?"
"After the performance."
"You'll have to ask some of the reporters. But that must be done personally."
"I haven't time."
"Ask someone from the chorus to write the invitations for you."
"Bah! And let them make stupid mistakes? Perhaps you will write them for me, Pepa? . . . You have a neat hand."
"No, it's not proper that I, the wife of the director, should write to strange men. I told that . . . what is the name of the girl whom you engaged for the chorus? . . ."
"Orlowska."
"Yes . . . I told her to come here to-day. I like her. Kaczkowska told me that she plays the piano excellently, so the thought struck me that . . ."
"Well then, let her write the invitations; if she plays the piano, she must also know how to write."
