THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

[Steps across to him]

Well, well, well! Baron Prus! Pardon me—I didn’t see you. How pleased I am. How are you?

How are you?

And how is your case? Did you get rid of that fellow?

Oh, no. Allow me, Gregor, to introduce you.

Is that Mr. Gregor? I am so pleased to meet you. How are you?

Well, thank you.

[Janek and Kristina bring chairs]

Sit down, Max.

Thank you very much.

You sit down, too, Baron. Berti can sit on my lap.

Too kind of you.
