THE DUKE AND f.a.n.n.y.
Are you mad?
FLAMBEAU.
We'll shut the trap.
THE DUKE.
But if they see you--!
f.a.n.n.y.
Vanis.h.!.+ This is frightful!
THE DUKE.
What will they say?
FLAMBEAU.
I'll tell you what they'll say--
MASKS.
[_Seeing_ FLAMBEAU.]
And this one! Oh! a veteran of the Empire!
FLAMBEAU.
[_To the_ DUKE.]
Well, there you are, you see! That's what they'll say.
MASKS.
Capital! Capital!
FLAMBEAU.
I take my ease.
A MASK.
[_To another._]
Come and admire the veteran!
THE OTHER.
First rate!
THIRD MASK.
Look at his earrings!
FOURTH MASK.
And his bushy eyebrows!
FLAMBEAU.
But how shall I get out without a cloak?
f.a.n.n.y.
Here's Gentz's ticket: such a handsome mantle.
A MASK.
Hail, Veteran!
FLAMBEAU.
The honor's mine.
[_The_ USHER _enters, followed by_ SERVANTS _who push on orange-trees, the boxes laid as tables._]
THE USHER.
Make room!
THE LACKEY.
[_Who took the_ DUKE'S _note._]
They understand, my Lord. The hunting-lodge.
f.a.n.n.y.
What's that?
THE DUKE.
I had forgotten. I gave orders-- I was to spend the night there. Warn the Countess.
Run! Run and say 'tis thither she must go!
[f.a.n.n.y _goes out quickly._]
