CECILIA
O Amadeus!
AMADEUS
What is it?
CECILIA
I am afraid you will become too lenient now.
AMADEUS
Lenient...? You know perfectly well that, as artist considered, you have no rival in my eyes, and will never have one.
CECILIA
Really, Amadeus, you shouldn't be flirting with all your pupils.
AMADEUS
I have the greatest respect for you.--Now let's go in!
CECILIA
"No more to meet...."
AMADEUS
What's the matter?
CECILIA
Nothing. I haven't tried to sing anything like this for a long time. Go right on!
AMADEUS (_begins playing again_)
CECILIA
"No more to meet you was my firm and sworn decision, and yet when evening comes, I...."
CURTAIN
THE SECOND ACT
_The same room as in the previous act. It is an evening in October.
The stage is dark. Marie and the chambermaid enter together. The maid turns on the light._
MARIE
Thank you.--But if your mistress is tired, please tell her she mustn't let me disturb her.
CHAMBERMAID
She hasn't arrived yet. She's not expected until this evening.
AMADEUS (_enters from the right, with hat and overcoat on_) Who is it?... Oh, is it you, Marie! Glad to see you. Have you been here long?
MARIE
No, I just got here. I meant to call on Cecilia, but I hear....
AMADEUS
Then you can keep me company waiting for her. (_Handing overcoat and hat to the maid_) Please take these.
CHAMBERMAID (_goes out_)
AMADEUS
I have also just got home. I had to do a lot of errands. I start the day after to-morrow.
MARIE
So soon!--That'll be a short reunion.
AMADEUS
Yes.--Won't you sit down, please? (_Looking at his watch_) Cecilia should be here in an hour.
MARIE
She has had a tremendous success again.
AMADEUS
I should say so! Look here--the telegram I got this morning. (_He takes it from the writing desk and hands it to Marie_) It refers to her final appearance last night.
MARIE
Oh.... Twenty-seven curtain calls...!
AMADEUS
