You raise a row ...
just as hard as you can, all on account o' this bit o' business. You just
look out for yourself an' not for me. Did you throw the key in the river?
JULIUS
Has I had a chanst to get down there yet?
MRS. WOLFF
Then it's about time you was gettin' there! D'you want 'em to find the
key on you? [_JULIUS is about to go._] Oh, wait a minute, Julius. Let me
have the key!
JULIUS
What you goin' to do with it?
MRS. WOLFF
[_Hiding the key about her person._] That ain't no business o' yours;
that's mine. [_She pours coffee beans into the hand-mill and begins to
grind._] Now you go out to the shed; then you c'n come back an' drink
your coffee.
JULIUS
If I'd ha' known all that before. Aw!
[_JULIUS exit. ADELAIDE enters, carrying a large apron full of
firewood._
MRS. WOLFF
Where d'you go an' get that wood?
ADELAIDE
Why, from the new blocks o' pine.
MRS. WOLFF
You wasn't to use that new wood yet.
ADELAIDE
[_Dropping the wood on the floor in front of the oven._] That don't do no
harm, mama, if it's burned up!
MRS. WOLFF
You think you know a lot! What are you foolin' about? You grow up a bit
an' then talk!
ADELAIDE
I know where it comes from!
MRS.
