Savoyard comes in through the curtains.

SAVOYARD. [to the Count] Would you mind coming to say a word of congratulation to the company?  Theyre rather upset at having had no curtain call.

THE COUNT.  Certainly, certainly.  I’m afraid Ive been rather remiss.  Let us go on the stage, gentlemen.

The curtains are drawn, revealing the last scene of the play and the actors on the stage.  The Count, Savoyard, the critics, and Fanny join them, shaking hands and congratulating.

THE COUNT.  Whatever we may think of the play, gentlemen, I’m sure you will agree with me that there can be only one opinion about the acting.

THE CRITICS.  Hear, hear! [They start the applause].

AYOT ST. LAWRENCE, March 1911.
