MASTER OF CEREMONIES. His Excellency, the Papal Nuntius,
Monsignor Altomonto. Ann greets him warmly in Italian, shaking
his hand; he replies, in Italian.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES. Sir Hugo Macy de Farmington.
ANN [he bows to her] Good evening, Sir Hugo.
SIR HUGO [shaking her hand] Good evening, Your Royal Highness.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES. His Highness, The Maharajah of Kalipur; and
The Rajkumari.
ANN [shaking the Rajkumari's hand] I'm so glad that you could
come.
THE RAJKUMARI. Thank you.
THE MAHARAJA [shaking Ann's hand] Thank you, madame. [The Master
of Ceremonies announes the next couple, in German].
ANN [hidden beneath her dress, she takes her right foot out of
its shoe and stretches it] Guten aben.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES [as Ann puts her foot back] Prince Istvan
Barossy Nagyavaros.
ANN. How do you do? [he kisses her hand] The Master of
Ceremonies announces the long German name and title of the next
guest.
ANN [holding the woman's hand as she curtsies] Guten aben. [She
greets the man as he kisses her hand]. The Master of Ceremonies
announces the next couple. As she greets them, Ann rubs her tired
right foot against her leg. Much later on and Ann is still
greeting the guests.
ANN [greeting another couple] So happy.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES. The Count and Countess von Marstrand.
ANN. Good evening, Countess [holding her hand the woman curtsies.
To the Count]. Good evening.
COUNT [kissing her hand] Good evening. [Suddenly, Princess Ann
loses her balance as her foot slips over her shoe, knocking it
over. The Count's eyeglass pops out in surprise and he smiles
back as she regathers herself. The Ambassador looks down in
disappointment at her error. The Master of Ceremonies introduces
the next couple-a Senor and Senora].
ANN [she tries to manipulate her shoe back into position which
has been knocked over and she greets the couple, disguising her
discomfort] Good evening [the man kisses her hand]. The Master
of Ceremonies announces the next guest as Ann pushes her shoe
again in an effort to right it.
ANN [as the man bends, gesturing with his hand in greeting] How
do you do? As the last guest moves back Ann looks around
anxiously, trying again to right her shoe, resulting in her
pushing it further away. The Ambassador then motions her to sit
down. As she sits back into the chair with the Ambassador and the
Countess on either side her dress pulls back, revealing the shoe.
The orchestra starts playing a waltz. Ann tries as
inconspicuously as possible to drag her shoe back with her foot.
The General, standing behind her frowning, motions to the
Countess to look at the shoe. She looks down at it and closes her
eyes in horror. The Princess stirs in her seat trying to get her
shoe back, fiddling with her gloves as cover. A man standing
behind the Ambassador motions to him and he shrugs and gets up,
bowing and presenting his arm to the Princess. The Princess rises
and, pausing for time to regather her shoe, is lead onto the
ballroom floor by the Ambassador. Taking her up to dance he looks
at the area in front of the eat and, relieved that the shoe isn't
to be seen, continues dancing with her as the other guests watch.
Later on and the dance floor is filled people. Princess Ann
dances with a short, lively gentleman who rattles off rapid
Spanish phrases to her. She listens, nodding and smiling
politely. Still later and she dances with a short, elderly
gentlemen. They smile and nod to each other silently. Later again
and Ann dances with a somewhat remote gentlemen. She almost
speaks so as to strike up a conversation, but thinks better of
it.
