Here is something Spanish. Do you know Spanish?
Hauk-Sendor
Oh, yes. Let me see. He, he! Eugenie, this is from Madrid.
Kolonaty
What?
Hauk-Sendorf
From the police. Banishment—Ramera Gitana, who is called Eugenie Montez. Ha, ha, ha! I know! Because of that fight, wasn’t it?
Kolonaty
I beg your pardon. [He bows to Emilia; then continues his examination of the papers] A passport. Elsa Muller, seventy-nine. Death certificate—of Ellian MacGregor, eighteen thirty-six. Look! Look! All jumbled up! Just wait, Madam, we will get to your own name. Ekaterina Myskin. Now, who is that?
Vitek
Ekaterina Myskin was a Russian singer in the forties.
Kolonaty
You know everything, man.
Gregor
That’s extraordinary. All the initials are E. M.
