. I am waiting for my husband. Kisses to the little ones, Mme. Jenny.

. And to yours from me, Mme. Lelia.

. They are here! See?

. I told you they'd be here. The Prince never goes behind.

. Are you going to speak to them?

. Wait till they call us. You know the Prince? Sit down. Have something?

. Do we eat there to-night?

. Yes.

. Donina, too?

. Donina's a fool; she's crazy. She don't want to come. She's jealous of my running around.

. Why don't she take on some one herself?

. She? If she only would! The Prince, say… Our fortune would be made!

. Why don't you make her?

. Make her? You don't know her. You talk like a fool. She wouldn't do it; but she will out of jealousy. Tell her I am out with another woman, and she'd go if it was to hell, and kick the hat off the devil.

. What does the Prince want with Donina?

. How do I know? He's got the notion; I'm tired of her and I need the money. I need a lot of money, so I can leave this life and settle down like a decent fellow. The Prince is like the rest of them; he doesn't know what he wants.

. He doesn't? Did you hear what happened to Fred with the Countess? She gave him money at first and jewels; now she is tired of him and says it was blackmail. She swears she'll call in the police.
