WOLFF
Don't stand there jabberin' nonsense. Light a fire in the oven and you'll
soon be warm. Where've you been all this long time, anyhow?
ADELAIDE
Why, didn't I have to go and fetch the boots for father?
MRS. WOLFF
An' you staid out two hours doin' it!
ADELAIDE
Well, I didn't start to go till seven.
MRS. WOLFF
Oh, you went at seven, did you? It's half past ten now. You don't know
that, eh? So you've been gone three hours an' a half. That ain't much.
Oh, no. Well now you just listen good to what I've got to tell you. If
you go an' stay that long again, and specially with that lousy cobbler of
a Fielitz--then watch out an' see! That's all I says.
ADELAIDE
Oh, I guess I ain't to do nothin' except just mope around at home.
MRS. WOLFF
Now you keep still an' don't let me hear no more.
ADELAIDE
An' even if I do go over to Fielitz's sometime....
MRS. WOLFF
Are you goin' to keep still, I'd like to know? You teach me to know
Fielitz! He needn't be putting on's far as I know. He's got another trade
exceptin' just repairin' shoes. When a man's been twice in the
penitentiary....
ADELAIDE
That ain't true at all.... That's all just a set o' lies.
