SIEBENHAAR [_Sitting down at a table near the piano._] Weren't you just singing, Mr. Wermelskirch? Don't let me interrupt you, please. WERMELSKIRCH What? I? Singing? That's hardly possible! You know how deeply this business affects me. But if you say so it must be true. Permit me to sit down by you. Bring me a glass of beer, too, Franziska! SIEBENHAAR When one considers that you were completely hoarse three or four years ago, you must admit that you've recuperated remarkably. WERMELSKIRCH You're quite right. But what good does it do me? I've half way crawled out of the slough. But who knows what'll happen now? FRANZISKA [_Places a glass of beer before SIEBENHAAR; to WERMELSKIRCH:_] I'll bring yours at once. SIEBENHAAR [_Having drunk._] What do you mean by that, exactly? |
