                           FULL ANNA AND TEUFEL

                ANNA and TEUFEL order under the noise.

                                    SOUND
                       Cafe music and hubbub drown all voices

                WILSON enters, sits, and orders.

                         MEDIUM ANNA AND TEUFEL

             Anna: Who is that man?
             Teufel: All men are the same.
             Anna: The American who is following us.
             Teufel: I can’t see him without my glasses.
             Anna: Perhaps you know him. He is smiling.
             Teufel: Then smile back.
             Anna: He is coming to our table. I want to go.
             Teufel: “I want! I want!” You are as spoiled as any Romanov.

                       MEDIUM WILSON—ANNA’S P.O.V.

             Wilson: Excuse me. Frau Teufel. Can it be, dear Frau Ilsa Teufel!

                       BETWEEN TEUFEL AND WILSON

             Teufel: Gott in Himmel! Wilson! What a pleasure... It is John
               Wilson! Such a long time.
             Wilson: Since the year after the Great War.
             Teufel: Oh...how looong!
             Anna: Oh, how touching.
             Teufel: Frau Anna Eisenstein, Mr. John Wilson.
             Anna: Frau Teufel corresponds these days with so many “old”
               friends.
             Wilson: A few French postcards back and forth...Yes.
             Anna: Frau Teufel writes most revealing letters.
             Wilson: Revealing?
