(Ludwig and Lisa sit at table.)

The Grand Duke32

10/’09

Enter Notary Tannhäuser.

Notary. Hallo! Surely I’m not late?

(All chatter unintelligibly in reply.)

Notary. But, dear me, you’re all at breakfast! Has the wedding taken place?

(All chatter unintelligibly in reply.)

Notary. My good girls, one at a time, I beg. Let me understand the situation. As solicitor to the conspiracy to dethrone the Grand Duke—a con-spiracy in which the members of this company are deeply involved—I am invited to the marriage of two of its members. I present myself in due course, and I find, not only that the ceremony has taken place—which is not of the least conse-quence—but the wedding breakfast is half eaten—which is a consideration of the most serious importance.

(Ludwig and Lisa come down.)

Ludwig. But the ceremony has not taken place. We can’t get a parson.

Notary. Can’t get a parson! Why, how’s that? They’re three a penny!

Ludwig. Oh, it’s the old story—the Grand Duke!

All. Ugh!

Ludwig. It seems that the little imp has selected this, our wedding day, for a convocation of all the clergy in the town to settle the details of his approaching marriage with the enormously wealthy Baroness von Krakenfeldt, and there won’t be a parson to be had for love or money until six o’clock this evening!

Lisa. And as we produce our magnificent classical revival of Troilus and Cressida to-night at seven, we have no alternative but to eat our wedding-breakfast before we’ve earned it. So sit down, and make the best of it.

Gretchen. Oh, I should like to pull his Grand Ducal ears for him, that I should. He’s the meanest, the cruellest, the most spiteful little ape in Chris-tendom!

Olga. Well, we shall soon be freed from his tyranny. To-morrow the Despot is to be dethroned.

Ludwig. Hush, rash girl! You know not what you say.

Olga. Don’t be absurd! We’re all in it—we’re all tiled, here.

Ludwig. That has nothing to do with it. Know ye not that in alluding to our conspiracy without having first given and received the secret sign, you are violating a fundamental principle of our Association?

Martha. Oh, bother the secret sign! I’ve eaten it until I’m quite uncomfort- able! I’ve given it six times already to-day—and (whimpering) I can’t eat any breakfast!

Bertha. And it’s so unwholesome. Why, we should all be as yellow as frogs if it wasn’t for the make-up!

Ludwig. All this is rank treason to the cause. I suffer as much as any of you. I loathe the repulsive thing—I can’t contemplate it without a shudder—but I’m a conscientious conspirator, and if you won’t give the sign I will. (Eats a sausage roll with an effort.)

Lisa. Poor martyr! He’s always at it, and it’s a wonder where he puts it!

Notary. Well now, about Troilus and Cressida. What do you play?

Solo—(Ludwig).No. 2a.

Ludwig (struggling with his feelings). If you’ll be so obliging as to wait until I’ve got rid of this feeling of warm oil at the bottom of my throat, I’ll tell you all about it. (Lisa gives him some brandy.) Thank you, my love; it’s gone. Well, the piece will be produced upon a scale of unexampled magnificence. It is confidently predicted that my appearance as King Agamemnon, in a Louis Quatorze wig, will mark an epoch in the theatrical annals of Pfennig Halbpfennig. I endeavoured to persuade Ernest Dummkopf, our manager, to lend us the classical dresses for our marriage. Think of the effect of a real Athenian wedding procession cavorting through the streets of Speisesaal! Torches burning—cymbals banging—flutes tootling—citharæ twanging—and a throng of fifty lovely Spartan virgins capering before us, all down the High Street, singing:

Dialogue if No. 2a is Included (cont’d)

Ludwig. It would have been tremendous!

Notary. And he declined?

Ludwig. He did, on the prosaic ground that it might rain, and the ancient Greeks didn’t carry umbrellas! If, as is confidently expected, Ernest Dummkopf is elected to succeed the dethroned one, mark my words, he will make a mess of it.

[Exit Ludwig with Lisa.

Olga. He’s sure to be elected. His entire company has promised to plump for him on the understanding that all the places about the Court are filled by members of his troupe, according to professional precedence.

Ernest enters in great excitement.

Bertha (looking off). Here comes Ernest Dummkopf. Now we shall know all about it!

All. Well—what’s the news? How is the election going?

Ernest. Oh, it’s a certainty—a practical certainty! Two of the candidates have been arrested for debt, and the third is a baby in arms—so, if you keep your promises, and vote solid, I’m cocksure of election!

Olga. Trust to us. But you remember the conditions?

Ernest. Yes—all of you shall be provided for, for life. Every man shall be ennobled—every lady shall have unlimited credit at the Court Milliner’s, and all salaries shall be paid weekly in advance!

Gretchen. Oh, it’s quite clear he knows how to rule a Grand Duchy!

Ernest. Rule a Grand Duchy? Why, my good girl, for ten years past I’ve ruled a theatrical company! A man who can do that can rule anything!

(Exeunt all but Ernest.)

Act I 51

10/’09

Ernest. Elected by my fellow-conspirators to be Grand Duke of Pfennig Halbpfennig as soon as the contemptible little occupant of the historical throne is deposed—here is promotion indeed! Why, instead of playing Troilus of Troy for a month, I shall play Grand Duke of Pfennig Halbpfennig for a lifetime! Yet, am I happy? No—far from happy! The lovely English comédienne—the beautiful Julia, whose dramatic ability is so overwhelming that our audiences forgive even her strong English accent—that rare and radiant being treats my respectful ad-vances with disdain unutterable! And yet, who knows? She is haughty and ambitious, and it may be that the splendid change in my fortunes may work a corresponding change in her feelings towards me!

Enter Julia Jellicoe.

Julia. Herr Dummkopf, a word with you, if you please.

Ernest. Beautiful English maiden—

Julia. No compliments, I beg. I desire to speak with you on a purely professional matter, so we will, if you please, dispense with allusions to my per-sonal appearance, which can only tend to widen the breach which already exists between us.

Ernest (aside). My only hope shattered! The haughty Londoner still despises me! (Aloud.) It shall be as you will.

Julia. I understand that the conspiracy in which we are all concerned is to develop to-morrow, and that the company is likely to elect you to the throne on the understanding that the posts about the Court are to be filled by members of your theatrical troupe, according to their professional importance.

Ernest. That is so.

Julia. Then all I can say is that it places me in an extremely awkward position.

Ernest (very depressed). I don’t see how it concerns you.

Julia. Why, bless my heart, don’t you see that, as your leading lady, I am bound under a serious penalty to play the leading part in all your productions?

Ernest. Well?

Julia. Why, of course, the leading part in this production will be the Grand Duchess!

Ernest. My wife?

Julia. That is another way of expressing the same idea.

Ernest (aside—delighted). I scarcely dared even to hope for this!

The Grand Duke52

10/’09

Julia. Of course, as your leading lady, you’ll be mean enough to hold me to the terms of my agreement. Oh, that’s so like a man! Well, I suppose there’s no help for it—I shall have to do it.

Ernest (aside). She’s mine! (Aloud.) But—do you really think you would care to play that part? (Taking her hand.)

Julia (withdrawing it). Care to play it? Certainly not—but what am I to do? Business is business, and I am bound by the terms of my agreement.

Ernest. It’s for a long run, mind—a run that may last many, many years—no understudy—and once embarked upon there’s no throwing it up.

Julia. Oh, we’re used to these long runs in England: they are the curse of the stage—but, you see, I’ve no option.

Ernest. You think the part of the Grand Duchess will be good enough for you?

Julia. Oh, I think so. It’s a very good part in Gerolstein, and oughtn’t to be a bad one in Pfennig Halbpfennig. Why, what did you suppose I was going to play?

Ernest (keeping up a show of reluctance). But, considering your strong personal dislike to me and your persistent rejection of my repeated offers, won’t you find it difficult to throw yourself into the part with all the impassioned enthusiasm that the character seems to demand? Remember, it’s a strongly emo-tional part, involving long and repeated scenes of rapture, tenderness, adoration, devotion—all in luxuriant excess, and all of the most demonstrative description.

Julia. My good sir, throughout my career I have made it a rule never to allow private feeling to interfere with my professional duties. You may be quite sure that (however distasteful the part may be) if I undertake it, I shall consider myself professionally bound to throw myself into it with all the ardour at my command.

Ernest (aside—with effusion). I’m the happiest fellow alive! (Aloud.) Now—would you have any objection—to—to give me some idea—if it’s only a mere sketch—as to how you would play it? It would be really interesting—to me—to know your conception of—of—the part of my wife.

Julia. How would I play it? Now, let me see—let me see. (Considering.) Ah, I have it!

(Exeunt Chorus. Manent Ludwig, Lisa, Ernest, Julia, and Notary.)

The Grand Duke74

10/’09

Julia. Well, a nice mess you’ve got us into! There’s an end of our precious plot! All up—pop—fizzle—bang—done for!

Ludwig. Yes, but—ha! ha!—fancy my choosing the Grand Duke’s private detective, of all men, to make a confidant of! When you come to think of it, it’s really devilish funny!

Ernest (angrily). When you come to think of it, it’s extremely injudicious to admit into a conspiracy every pudding-headed baboon who presents himself!

Ludwig. Yes—I should never do that. If I were chairman of this gang, I should hesitate to enrol any baboon who couldn’t produce satisfactory credentials from his last Zoological Gardens.

Lisa. Ludwig is far from being a baboon. Poor boy, he could not help giving us away—it’s his trusting nature—he was deceived.

Julia (furiously). His trusting nature! (To Ludwig.) Oh, I should like to talk to you in my own language for five minutes—only five minutes! I know some good, strong, energetic English remarks that would shrivel your trusting nature into raisins—only you wouldn’t understand them!

Ludwig. Here we perceive one of the disadvantages of a neglected education!

Ernest (to Julia). And I suppose you’ll never be my Grand Duchess, now!

Julia. Grand Duchess? My good friend, if you don’t produce the piece how can I play the part?

Ernest. True. (To Ludwig.) You see what you’ve done.

Ludwig. But, my dear sir, you don’t seem to understand that the man ate three sausage-rolls. Keep that fact steadily before you. Three large sausage-rolls.

Julia. Bah!—Lots of people eat sausage-rolls who are not conspirators.

Ludwig. Then they shouldn’t. It’s bad form. It’s not the game. When one of the Human Family proposes to eat a sausage-roll, it is his duty to ask himself, “Am I a conspirator?” And if, on examination, he finds that he is not a conspirator, he is bound in honour to select some other form of refreshment.

Lisa. Of course he is. One should always play the game. (To Notary, who has been smiling placidly through this.) What are you grinning at, you greedy old man?

Notary. Nothing—don’t mind me. It is always amusing to the legal mind to see a parcel of laymen bothering themselves about a matter which to a trained lawyer presents no difficulty whatever.

All. No difficulty!

Notary. None whatever! The way out of it is quite simple.

Act I 75

10/’09

All. Simple?

Notary. Certainly! Now attend. In the first place, you two men fight a Statutory Duel.

Ernest. A Statutory Duel?

Julia. A Stat-tat-tatutory Duel! Ach! what a crack-jaw language this German is.

Ludwig. Never heard of such a thing.

Notary. It is true that the practice has fallen into abeyance through disuse. But all the laws of Pfennig Halbpfennig run for a hundred years, when they die a natural death, unless, in the meantime, they have been revived for another century. The Act that institutes the Statutory Duel was passed a hundred years ago, and as it has never been revived, it expires to-morrow. So you’re just in time.

Julia. But what is the use of talking to us about Statutory Duels when we none of us know what a Statutory Duel is?

Notary. Don’t you? Then I’ll explain.
