Vitek

[Bows]

A thousand thanks.

[He goes away with Kristina]

Emilia

The next one. Anyone else?

Gregor

I wait till you’re alone.

Emilia

Another fool. Well, I am going.

Prus

[Stepping up]

Just one minute, please.

Emilia

Do you want something?

Prus

[With a slight bow]

It would seem so.

Emilia

[Yawning]

All right, out with it.

Prus

I wanted only to ask you—you seem to know so many things about Joseph Prus.

Emilia

Perhaps.
