Do me a favour, Doctor, an' don't talk to me about that there man. I'm that angry at him! That man hurt my feelin's too bad. The way we was--him an' me, for so long--an' then he goes and tries to blacken my character with all them people. [_To JULIUS._] Are you goin' or not?
JULIUS
I'm goin' all right; don't get so huffy. Good mornin' to you, Mr.
Fleischer.
FLEISCHER
Good morning, Mr. Wolff.
[_JULIUS exit._
MRS. WOLFF
Well, as I was sayin' ...
FLEISCHER
That time when his wood was stolen, I suppose he quarreled with you. But he's repented of that long since.
MRS. WOLFF
That man and repent!
FLEISCHER
You may believe me all the same, Mrs. Wolff. And especially after this last affair. He has a very high opinion of you indeed. The best thing would be if you were to be reconciled.
MRS. WOLFF
We might ha' talked together like sensible people, but for him to go an'
run straight to the police--no, no!
FLEISCHER
Well, the poor little old couple is having bad luck: only a week ago their wood, and now the fur coat....
MRS. WOLFF
Are you comin' to your great news now? Out with it!
FLEISCHER
Well, it's a clear case of burglary.
MRS. WOLFF
Some more stealin'? Don't make fun o' me!
FLEISCHER
Yes, and this time it's a perfectly new fur coat.
MRS. WOLFF
Well now, you know, pretty soon I'll move away from here. That's a crowd round here! Why, a person ain't sare o' their lives. Tst! Tst! Such folks! It ain't hardly to be believed!
FLEISCHER
You can form an idea of the noise they're making.
MRS. WOLFF
Well, you can't hardly blame the people.
FLEISCHER
And really, it was, a very expensive garment--of mink, I believe.
MRS. WOLFF
Ain't that somethin' like beaver, Mr. Fleischer?
FLEISCHER
Perhaps it was beaver, for all I know. Anyhow, they were real proud of it.--I admit, I laughed to myself over the business. When something like that is discovered it always has a comic effect.
MRS. WOLFF
You're a cruel man, really, Doctor. I can't go an' laugh about things like that.
FLEISCHER
You mustn't think that I'm not sorry for the man, for all that.
MRS. WOLFF
Them must be pretty strange people. I don't know. There ain't no way o'
understandin' that. Just to go an' rob other people o' what's theirs--no, then it's better to work till you drop.
FLEISCHER
You might perhaps make a point of keeping your ears open. I believe the coat is supposed to be in the village.
MRS. WOLFF
Has they got any suspicion o' anybody?
