Act IV

The same scene as in Act I. The next day. Two liveried footmen,

THEODORE IVNITCH and GREGORY.

FIRST FOOTMAN (with grey whiskers). Yours is the third house to-day.

Thank goodness that all the at-homes are in this direction. Yours used

to be on Thursdays.

THEODORE IVNITCH. Yes, we changed to Saturday so as to be on the same

day as the Golvkins and Grade von Grabes....

SECOND FOOTMAN. The Stcherbkofs do the thing well. There's

refreshments for the footmen every time they've a ball.
