ADELAIDE
Papa always speaks so uneducated!
MRS. WOLFF
Well, he didn't learn to have no education. An' that'd be just the same
thing with you if I hadn't brought you up to be educated. [_Holding a
saucepan over the oven: to LEONTINE:_] Come now, put it in! [_LEONTINE
places the pieces of washed venison into the sauce-pan._] So, now go to
bed.
LEONTINE
[_Goes into the next room. While she is still visible, she says:_] Oh,
mama, Motes has moved away from Krueger.
MRS. WOLFF
I guess he didn't pay no rent.
LEONTINE
It was just like pullin' a tooth every time, Mr. Krueger says, but he
paid. Anyhow, he says, he had to kick him out. He's such a lyin'
loudmouthed fellow, and always so high and mighty toward Mr. Krueger.
MRS. WOLFF
If I had been in Mr. Krueger's place I wouldn't ha' kept him that long.
LEONTINE
Because Mr. Krueger used to be a carpenter onct, that's why Motes always
acts so contemptuous. And then, too, he quarrelled with Dr. Fleischer.
MRS. WOLFF
Well, anybody that'll quarrel with _him_...! I ain't sayin' anythin', but
them people wouldn't harm a fly!
LEONTINE
They won't let him come to the Fleischers no more.
MRS.
