THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

Ha, ha. Is that what you counted on?

I, or the police? Are you going?

No.

[Re-entering]

It is a physician and another gentleman, waiting for Mr. Hauk-Sendorf. They are supposed to take him home.

[To Emilia]

So, you see. Ho, ho. They have me already. [To Vitek] Won’t you ask them to wait?

I told them to.

Gentlemen, since Mademoiselle Marty doesn’t intend to explain, we will be so bold as to look through her trunks and papers.

No, you haven’t the right, Gregor.

[To Kolonaty]

Shall we call the police, then?

I wash my hands of the affair.
