Grand Duke Peter:
[Grand Duke Peter cuts off the head of a fair-haired doll]
What do you think of this decapitation? Princess Sophia Frederica:
It would be more amusing if it were real. Where's your visitor? [Countess Elizabeth enters] Princess Sophia Frederica:
Oh, it's Lizzie. Is she in charge of your entertainment again? What will Her Majesty say? Grand Duke Peter:
Her Majesty doesn't know anything about it, and I wouldn't advise you to tell her. Princess Sophia Frederica:
I wouldn't dream of telling the empress anything. She has her own system of spies. Besides, not for the world would I interfere with your pleasures, as long as you don't interfere with mine. How is Astrakhan, Lizzie? Or was it Afghanistan? Countess Elizabeth 'Lizzie':
If you're wise you'll find out for yourself before it's too late. There's some very comfortable convents along the way, and all you have to do to gain admission is shave your head. It's good for the scalp anyway. Princess Sophia Frederica:
Entirely too many men love my hair. And I have no intention of changing my residence. Anyway, this country will soon need a new empress. Countess Elizabeth 'Lizzie':
You may as well know that Peter's going to marry me when the old bat dies and as soon as he gets rid of his present wife!
