MRS. WOLFF
But Mr. Krueger don't give her no peace no more.
WEHRHAHN
What has Mr. Krueger to do with it?
MRS. WOLFF
The girl went to him with the package.
WEHRHAHN
What kind of a rag is that? Let me see it.
MRS. WOLFF
It's all connected with the business of the fur coat. Leastways that's
what Mr. Krueger thinks.
WEHRHAHN
What's wrapped up in those rags, eh?
MRS. WOLFF
There's a green waist-coat what belongs to Mr. Krueger.
WEHRHAHN
And you found that?
ADELAIDE
I found it, your honour.
WEHRHAHN
Where did you find it?
ADELAIDE
That was when I was goin' to the train with mama. I was walkin' along
this way and there ...
WEHRHAHN
Never mind about that now. [_To MRS. WOLFF._] Make your deposition some
time soon. We can come back to this matter to-morrow.
MRS. WOLFF
Oh, _I'm_ willin' enough ...
WEHRHAHN
Well, who isn't then?
MRS. WOLFF
Mr. Krueger is so very anxious about it.
WEHRHAHN
Mr. Krueger, Mr. Krueger--I care very little about him. The man just
simply annoys me. Things like this cannot be adjusted in a day. He has
offered a reward and the matter has been published in the official paper.
