When George came back, he said.
George:She is Antoinette de Mauban,a very rich widow whom Duke Michael of Streslau is interested in.She is also on the way to Streslau for the coronation of King Rudolf.
After cleaning customs,Rudolf goes and buys a newspaper.
Rudolf:It is lucky.I manage to buy the newspaper.
Santinez:Why do you say like this?
Rudolf:It is because the date of the coronation has been brought forward to the day after tomorrow.
