Excerpt: ... MRS. SCHWARTZE. And they're calling and talking all over the house, and neither of them knows any German. And her ladyship ordered a warm bath, that was not warm enough; and a cold douche, which was not cold enough; and spirits, which she simply poured out of the window; and toilet vinegar, which we didn't have at all.

Excerpt: ... MRS. SCHWARTZE. And they're calling and talking all over the house, and neither of them knows any German. And her ladyship ordered a warm bath, that was not warm enough; and a cold douche, which was not cold enough; and spirits, which she simply poured out of the window; and toilet vinegar, which we didn't have at all. FRANZISKA. What demands! And where is your famous young lady? MRS. SCHWARTZE. After her bath she has gone back to bed again. FRANZISKA. I would not have such sloth in my house. MRS. SCHWARTZE. I shall tell her so. For Leopold's sake-- Enter Theresa . What do you want, Theresa? THERESA. Councillor von Keller--he has sent his servant here to ask whether the Lieutenant has come yet, and what is the young lady's answer. MRS. SCHWARTZE. What young lady? THERESA. That's what I don't know. MRS. SCHWARTZE. Then just give our regards, and say that the Lieutenant has not come yet. FRANZISKA. He is on duty till twelve. After that he'll come. Exit Theresa . As she opens the door, a great noise is heard in the hall, --a man's voice and a woman's disputing in Italian. MRS. SCHWARTZE. Listen to that! Speaking outside. Just you wait.

Then it must be chocolate! MRS. SCHWARTZE. No; coffee and chocolate mixed. FRANZISKA. Horrible! But it must be good. MRS. SCHWARTZE. And yesterday half a dozen trunks came from the hotel, and as many more are still there. Ah, what there is in them all! One whole trunk for hats! A peignoir of real point, and open-work stockings with gold embroidery, and in a whisper silk chemises-- FRANZISKA. What? Silk-- MRS. SCHWARTZE. Yes. FRANZISKA. With a gesture of horror. It is simply sinful. Enter Magda, in brilliant morning toilette, speaking outside as she opens the door. MAGDA. Ma che cosa volete voi? Perche non aspettate, finche vi...
