Vignette #2- Baron Von Wizenheimer and Lady Emily Fairchild:

Baron: Verrry interesting, my dear.

Lady Emily:  Wot's that you say Baron?

Baron: I just vanted to say that I saw you after ze lights came on. Your hat vas qvite turned around. Ze feather vas almost up your nose.

Lady:  Yes, well what about it? What are you trying to say, Baron? Come to the point at once!

Baron: I just vondered about your very large hat. With a hat that large, it would be easy to qvickly put somsing underneath. Very interesting!

Lady: Are you accusing me of taking the prize? How dare you! I'll have you know that when the lights went out, I was very frightened and climbed underneath the desk, that is how my hat got tilted and lopsided. If it is any of your business!

Baron: Ve have ways of making you talk. You can be fooling some of ze people, but not me.

Lady:  Alright, Baron Von Wizenheimer! I just happen to know that you were to meet someone just about the time we were having our meeting. Suppose when the lights went out, you grabbed the prize and put it inside that book you're always carrying, then dashed down to the carriages and passed it off to that mysterious guest you were to meet.

Baron: You are making ze accusation on me? Vat a dumkoff idea! Ze lights were only off for a few minutes. I would never have been able to run down to ze carriage area and back, before ze lights came on again.

Lady:  Well all I'm going to say is don't accuse me, and I may forget about what I know.   (They sit down)
