 Although there is nobody at Sir Robert Temple's house who knows Freda, isn't it possible there may be somebody who knows you?

 [Putting on cloak and hat.] Margaret Schiller? In the house of a Minister of State? What an idea! Come, run off for the cab. [Otto goes off R. comes down.

 [Laughing wildly.] That would be the most glorious chance of all. I would give the world for it! [ returns.

 Here you are. Got one at the door.

 Shoulder the bag then. [Otto and Fritz go out R.] Good-bye, auntie! Don't look so frightened. [Kissing her.] Good-bye, uncle! Don't be afraid for me.
