BLUMENBERG.

SENDEN.

That was the old gentleman's stipulation. I imagine he is afraid of
Oldendorf.

BLUMENBERG.

_Union_.

SENDEN.

Let me look at it. Well, that will be a fine mix-up! Is the attack
insulting?

BLUMENBERG.

The Colonel will be sure to consider it so. Don't you think that that
will help us against the professor?

SENDEN.

Upon my honor you are the slyest devil that ever crept out of an
inkstand!
