Mademoiselle Marty, this is a great honor.
Emilia
Not at all. So you are the lawyer?
Kolonaty
At your service.
Emilia
And you represent this Mr. Gregor?
Gregor
Why, of course.
Emilia
In the case concerning the inheritance of Pepi Prus.
Kolonaty
That is, of Baron Joseph Ferdinand Prus, deceased eighteen hundred and twenty-seven.
Emilia
What! Is he dead?
Kolonaty
I’m sorry to say, almost a hundred years ago.
Emilia
Oh, the poor thing. I didn’t know that.
