ROSE
I shouldn't wonder if you had your little bundle o' sins. You might ha'
been prayin' a bit.
STRECKMANN
I'm on pretty good terms with the Lord. He don't keep such very particular accounts o' my sins.
ROSE
Well, well!
STRECKMANN
No, he don't bother with me much.
ROSE
A vain, fool--that's what you is!
_STRECKMANN laughs in a deep and affected tone._
ROSE
If you was a real man, you wouldn't have to go an' beat your wife at home.
STRECKMANN
[_With a gleam in his eyes._] That shows that I'm a real man! That shows it! That's proper! A man's got to show you women that he's the master.
ROSE
Don't be fancyin' such foolishness.
STRECKMANN
That's so, for all you say. Right _is_ right. An' I never failed to get what I was wantin' that way.
_ROSE laughs constrainedly._
STRECKMANN
People says you're goin' to leave Flamm's service.
ROSE
I'm not in Flamm's service at all. You see now that I'm doin' other things.
STRECKMANN
You were helpin' at Flamm's no later'n yesterday.
ROSE
Maybe so! Maybe I was or maybe I wasn't! Look after your own affairs.
STRECKMANN
Is it true that your father has moved?
ROSE
Where to?
STRECKMANN
With August over into Lachmann's house.
ROSE
August hasn't even bought the house yet. Those people--they knows more than I.
STRECKMANN
An' they says too that you'll be celebratin' your weddin' soon.
ROSE
They can be talkin' for all I care.
STRECKMANN
[_After a brief silence approaches her and stands before her with legs wide apart._] Right you are! You can marry him any time. A fine girl like you don't need to hurry so; she can have a real good time first! I laughed right in his face when he told me. There's no one believes him.
ROSE
[_Quickly._] Who's been sayin' it?
STRECKMANN
August Keil.
ROSE
August himself? An' this is what he gets from his silly talkin'.
STRECKMANN
