He acts as though he'd
been stung by a tarantula. If that old ass continues to plague me, I'll
kick him straight out of this room some day.
_In the open door KRUEGER becomes visible, together with FLEISCHER
and MRS. WOLFF._
MITTELDORF
[_To KRUEGER._] His honour can't be seen, Mr. Krueger.
KRUEGER
Nonsense! Not to be seen! I don't care for such talk at all. [_To the
others._] Go right on, right on! I'd like to see!
_All enter, KRUEGER leading the way._
WEHRHAHN
I must request that there be somewhat more quiet. As you see, I am having
a conference at present.
KRUEGER
Go right ahead with it. We can wait. Later you can then have a conference
with us.
WEHRHAHN
[_To MOTES._] Over in my apartment, then, if you please. And if you see
Mrs. Dreier, tell her I had rather question her there too. You see for
yourself: it isn't possible here.
KRUEGER
[_Pointing to FLEISCHER._] This gentleman knows something about Mrs.
Dreier too. He has some documentary evidence.
MOTES
Your honour's servant. I take my leave.
[_Exit._
KRUEGER
That's a good thing for _that_ man to take.
WEHRHAHN
You will kindly omit remarks of that nature.
