[_She pours out two cupfuls of
coffee, one for him and one for herself, and places the two cups with
bread and butter on a wooden chair._] Here, drink your coffee.
JULIUS
[_Sitting down and cutting himself some bread._] I hope Wulkow's been
able to get away!
MRS. WOLFF
In this thaw!
JULIUS
Even if it is thawin', you can't tell.
MRS. WOLFF
An' you needn't care if it do freeze a bit; he ain't goin' to be stuck. I
guess he's a good way up the canal by this time.
JULIUS
Well, I hope he ain't lyin' under the bridge this minute.
MRS. WOLFF
For my part he can be lyin' where he wants to.
JULIUS
You c'n take it from me, y'understan'? That there man Wulkow is goin' to
get into a hell of a hole some day.
MRS. WOLFF
That's his business; that ain't none o' ours.
JULIUS
Trouble is we'd all be in the same hole. You just let 'em go an' find
that coat on him!
MRS. WOLFF
What coat are you talkin' about?
JULIUS
Krueger's, o' course!
MRS. WOLFF
Don't you go talkin' rot like that, y'understan'? An' don't go an' give
yourself a black eye on account o' other people's affairs!
JULIUS
I guess them things concerns me!
MRS.
