There are doorways at Right and Left. There is a bench on the right
side of the room. A single LADY TOURIST enters Right, takes a hasty
glance, yawns, and looking down at her Baedeker, goes out Left. A
PAPAL GUARD is seen passing outside in the court. A FRENCHMAN and his
WIFE (with Baedekers) are seen approaching; they are heard talking
volubly. They enter Left._
BOTH. Ah!--
[_They stand a moment in silent admiration._
HE. [_Reading from Baedeker._] Apollo Belvedere. [_He looks up._] C'est
superb!
SHE. [_Beaming with admiration._] Magnifique! Voila un homme!
HE. _Quelle grace!_
SHE. _Quelle force!_
[_Both talk at once in great admiration and intense excitement for
a few moments. Then he suddenly drops into his ordinary tone and
manner._
HE. Allons, allons nous!
SHE. [_In the same tone._] Oui, j'ai faim!
[_They go out Right._
[_JINNY and AUSTIN enter Left, he looking over his shoulder. They
stand a moment just inside the doorway._
JINNY. What are you looking back so much for, Jackie?
AUSTIN. I thought I saw some one I know.
