He has a very high opinion of you indeed. The best thing
would be if you were to be reconciled.
MRS. WOLFF
We might ha' talked together like sensible people, but for him to go an'
run straight to the police--no, no!
FLEISCHER
Well, the poor little old couple is having bad luck: only a week ago
their wood, and now the fur coat....
MRS. WOLFF
Are you comin' to your great news now? Out with it!
FLEISCHER
Well, it's a clear case of burglary.
MRS. WOLFF
Some more stealin'? Don't make fun o' me!
FLEISCHER
Yes, and this time it's a perfectly new fur coat.
MRS. WOLFF
Well now, you know, pretty soon I'll move away from here. That's a crowd
round here! Why, a person ain't sare o' their lives. Tst! Tst! Such
folks! It ain't hardly to be believed!
FLEISCHER
You can form an idea of the noise they're making.
MRS. WOLFF
Well, you can't hardly blame the people.
FLEISCHER
And really, it was, a very expensive garment--of mink, I believe.
MRS. WOLFF
Ain't that somethin' like beaver, Mr. Fleischer?
FLEISCHER
Perhaps it was beaver, for all I know. Anyhow, they were real proud of
it.--I admit, I laughed to myself over the business.
