SCENE 1 | The Count greets Bob while he's talking to the audience about near and far. He's a little sad and comments on how there are no footprints in the freshly fallen snow yet. Bob excuses himself to continue the lesson, but the Count offers to help. Once he's shown that he's "near" Bob, he asks him to walk away from him to demonstrate "far." They repeat this a few times until the Count says that should be enough. When Bob asks what he means, the Count explains that he now has plenty of footprints in the snow to count. |
