While Marielle and five bachelors are out having riotous fun at the circus, what are Leopold and Everette doing back at the mansion? Let's find out!Everette: Care for a game of dominoes?
Leopold: Yes, all right.
Everette: You know, it's kind of a relief to have the place to ourselves, isn't it?
Leopold: Yeah, it really is! I've been looking forward to some time away from the fairy.
Everette: Eh, the fairy doesn't bother me so much. Yes, he behaves inappropriately--far too forward, if you ask me--but at least he maintains his focus.
Leopold: What do you mean?
Everette: What really bothers me is a man who plays with others' emotions. Like that Dominic fellow. Short attention span, that one.
Leopold: Well, he talks a big game, but surely he doesn't act on it?
Everette: Didn't you see--? Oh, that's right, you were upstairs with Marielle and Dimitri. Last night, he went outside with the ghost pianist and was trying to chat her up a bit. Caused a big stir. Apparently Talus thought he was in some kind of danger with the girl. Ran out throwing salt everywhere. The little fairy got into a big fuss as well. Started shouting at Dominic that Marielle wasn't someone to be messed with. Dominic tried to talk everyone down, kind of smooth things over, but I just haven't felt the same about him since then. You have to question his reasons for being here, don't you?
Leopold: I should say so! Has anyone told Marielle about this?
Everette: Not that I know of. His true nature will reveal itself in the end.
Leopold: Hmmm . . .
(thinking) Dominic seems a nice young man under all that bravado... but I could be wrong. Note to self to keep one eye on Dominic.
Meanwhile, back at the Organ Grinder,
the show begins!
