"The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann Volume I"

_] Is there anything else of importance?
GLASENAPP
Nothing but minor matters, your honour--somebody giving notice--
WEHRHAHN
That'll do; that'll do. Do you happen ever to have heard any reports to
the effect that this Dr. Fleischer does not guard his tongue with
particular care?
GLASENAPP
Not that I know of at this moment.
WEHRHAHN
Because that is the information that has come to me. He is said to have
made illegal remarks concerning a number of exalted personages. However,
all that will appear in good time. We can set to work now. Mitteldorf,
have you anything to report?
MITTELDORF
They tell me that a theft has been committed during the night.
WEHRHAHN
A theft? Where?
MITTELDORF
In the Villa Krueger.
WEHRHAHN
What has been stolen?
MITTELDORF
Some firewood.
WEHRHAHN
Last night, or when?
MITTELDORF
Just last night.
WEHRHAHN
From whom does your information come?
MITTELDORF
My information? It come from ... from....
WEHRHAHN
Well, from whom? Out with it!
MITTELDORF
I heard it from--I got it from Dr. Fleischer.
WEHRHAHN
Aha! You're in the habit then of conversing with him?
MITTELDORF
Mr.
