_] She did indeed.
WEHRHAHN
[_Interrupting._] Now wait a moment.
MRS. WOLFF
What kind o' trouble did you have together?
WEHRHAHN
Mrs. Wolff, you listen to me. Your daughter must return to Mr. Krueger at
once.
MRS. WOLFF
Oh, no, we'd rather keep her at home now.
WEHRHAHN
That can't be done quite so easily as you think. Mr. Krueger has the
right, if he wishes to exert it, of calling in the help, of the police.
In that case we would have to take your daughter back by force.
MRS. WOLFF
But my husband just happened to take it into his head. He's just made up
his mind not to let the girl go no more. An' when my husband takes a
notion like that into his head.... The trouble is: all you men has such
awful tempers!
WEHRHAHN
Suppose you let that go, for the moment, Mrs. Wolff. How long has your
daughter been, at home?
MRS. WOLFF
She came back last night.
WEHRHAHN
Last night? Very well. She had been told to carry wood into the shed and
she refused.
MRS. WOLFF
Eh, is that so? Refused? That girl o' mine don't refuse to do work. An' I
wouldn't advise her to do that kind o' thing neither.
WEHRHAHN
You hear what Mrs. Wolff says.
