THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

Look into this child’s eyes! Do you know what’s happened?

Janek, Janek.

And do you know why?

Baa!

That boy is on your conscience!

And is that why you are dragging people here with a lawyer?

Not only for that. Don’t be so impertinent, if you please.

Well, will you listen to that! What do you want?

You will see. What is your name, anyway?

Are you cross-examining me?

Oh, no, Madam. Only a friendly chat.
