"I mean that I have been out every night without once asking leave" "You saw him once at the races in the Crown Princes box" "And we met again by chance the day you went to Prague" "But you never said anything to me about it" "I'm telling you now" "I've been with him to Sacher,to the tennis club and several times into the country" "Just the two of you" "Just the two of us" "You realize what you've done?" "I've done nothing" "And what the consequences would be?" "I don't care what they'll be I've done nothing wrong" "Nothing wrong?" "When you have daily assignation with a man of Traun's reputations" "People would be saying that my wife is his mistress" "But I'm not,let them say what they please" "Francis" "Don't you understand" "You ruined your reputation and made me a public laughing stock" "Please ,don't use that childish phrases" "Phrases you call them?"

"He promised to be back here at half past five" "And what if he doesn't come back?" "You could have prevented it, I'd never forgive you" "This sort of affair can only be dealt with one way" "But it wasn't that sort of affair for once in my life I enjoyed myself for an hour or two without another thought of my head" "You are not being sincere,Henrietta, and it doesn't suit you" "You are not the sort of woman to enjoy yourself like that without a thought in your head" "What do you mean by that?" "Certainly you didn't enjoy yourself, the other thoughts did come into your head" "Once I warned Francis against marrying you" "I should have warned you not to marry him" "Why?" "Perhaps you'd listen to me" "You see you mean everything tor Francis" "He means nothing to you" "Or very little" "You know ,Otto,that's not true" "There is no need to make excuses" "I understand you,Henrietta, I've always understood you" "I've often asked myself if someone should come into Henrietta's life what would happen?" "Some one was bound to come sooner or later" "Because the answer is very simple" "You could leave him" "I know Francis and he isn't simple" "Everything that concerns you,concerns him" "He may talk of his honour but underneath he is thinking of you" "Only of you" "I was going to leave him" "Yes" "I know" "It doesn't suit me not to be sincere" "And the children?" "That's why I'm still here" "Listen to me,Henrietta" "Life itself is one long duty which we all must full fill" "If you are happy or not doesn't come into it" "Your duty is here with your children and Francis" "I know you two aren't happy" "Francis will never give up hoping that someday things will straighten up between you" "You must never give up hoping it either" "Francis" "Matter is settled" "We'll never speak of it again" "How are you?"

"Excuse me a minute" "Come on,Herman" "What are the workmen doing here?" "Have you any objections?" "Paul's idea I suppose" "Socialism" "It was Paul's idea but I approved" "Since you asked they have a lot more right to be here than you have" "Did it ever occur to you but for their skill and craftsmanship we'd never be able to turn out a single piano" "Let me remind you they work 11 hours every day" "An example you might try and follow for your own good" "Hello,Czerny" "Good Day,Master Paul" "If you are as hungry as I am we'd all better go eat now" "That's right Hausmann will agree with that" "Come on Hausmann,I expect it will be enough even for you" "Miss Linden is anything wrong?" "Mr Alt please don't think I'm not grateful for your beautiful piano but I can't accept it" "Why not?" "It's yours" "Well you see I have only one small room" "It's too large" "There is just isn't enough space for it" "Oh,I see,in that case we'll have to keep it for you until you are a famous pianist with the largest studio in Vienna" "In the mean time we'll lend you a smaller one" "Thank you" "Another thing,my mother is going to invite you to musical party next Sunday" "And I..oh we would all be very glad if you'd come will you?"
