THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET
act iii
Emilia
Ha, ha. Is that what you counted on?
Gregor
I, or the police? Are you going?
Emilia
No.
Vitek
[Re-entering]
It is a physician and another gentleman, waiting for Mr. Hauk-Sendorf. They are supposed to take him home.
Hauk-Sendorf
[To Emilia]
So, you see. Ho, ho. They have me already. [To Vitek] Won’t you ask them to wait?
Vitek
I told them to.
Gregor
Gentlemen, since Mademoiselle Marty doesn’t intend to explain, we will be so bold as to look through her trunks and papers.
Kristina
No, you haven’t the right, Gregor.
Gregor
[To Kolonaty]
Shall we call the police, then?
Kolonaty
I wash my hands of the affair.
