Hurry, Julius, an' go, so's you c'n get back in time for dinner. [_To
FLEISCHER._] We killed' a rabbit for dinner to-day. Ain't you ready yet,
Julius?
JULIUS
Well, give me a chanst to find my cap.
MRS. WOLFF
I can't stand seein' anybody just foolin' round that way, as if it didn't
make no difference about to-day or to-morrow, I like to see things move
along.
FLEISCHER
Why, last night, at Krueger's, they ...
MRS. WOLFF
Do me a favour, Doctor, an' don't talk to me about that there man. I'm
that angry at him! That man hurt my feelin's too bad. The way we was--him
an' me, for so long--an' then he goes and tries to blacken my character
with all them people. [_To JULIUS._] Are you goin' or not?
JULIUS
I'm goin' all right; don't get so huffy. Good mornin' to you, Mr.
Fleischer.
FLEISCHER
Good morning, Mr. Wolff.

MRS. WOLFF
Well, as I was sayin' ...
FLEISCHER
That time when his wood was stolen, I suppose he quarreled with you. But
he's repented of that long since.
MRS. WOLFF
That man and repent!
FLEISCHER
You may believe me all the same, Mrs. Wolff. And especially after this
last affair.
