Beatrice—You are not to punish the man who made the mistake.
Cæsar—No, your highness. Perhaps you would wish me to give him a little reward?
Beatrice—Let us not go to extremes. . . . The professor is to wait here. [She exits at right. Cæsar goes to the door at left, but it opens and Alexandra enters.]
Alexandra—Has the princess arrived?
Cæsar—Yes, your highness.
Alexandra—Where is she?
Cæsar—In there, your highness. [Points to right.] I believe she is changing her clothes after her long motor ride.
Alexandra—And what are you doing here?
Cæsar—I have been told to summon[Stops.]
Alexandra—To summon whom?
Cæsar—[Reluctantly.] Professor Agi.
Alexandra—[Sharply.] What do they want of Professor Agi?
Cæsar—He is to come up here and wait.
Alexandra—Very good. Send him up. [She sits.]
Cæsar—But . . . if your highness pleases . . . I am to send Mr. Agi up here to wait for
Alexandra—Professor Agi.
