Jozwowicz!
Doctor.--What is it, Your Highness? Prince.--And perhaps you will also become a minister. Doctor.--It may be. Prince.--Did you hear? And do you think that I will call you "Your Excellency"? Doctor.--It would be proper. Prince.--Jozwowicz, do you wish to give me a stroke of apoplexy? Doctor.--Be calm, Your Highness. My Excellency will always take care of your Grace's bile. Prince.--It is true. The irritation hurts me. What, Jozwowicz--does it hurt me? Doctor.--Yes, it excites the bile, but it gives you an appetite. (He approaches with George.) Stella.--What were you talking about? Doctor.--I have been listening to George. Horrible! Dreadful! George made a mistake by coming into the world two hundred years too late. Bayards are not appreciated nowadays. |
