KRUEGER
I'll say that again. The man is a swindler.
WEHRHAHN
[_As though he had not heard, to WULKOW._] Well, what is it? I'll get rid
of you first. The records, Glasenapp!--Wait, though! I'll relieve myself
of this business first. [_To KRUEGER._] I will first attend to your
affair.
KRUEGER
Yes, I must ask you very insistently to do so.
WEHRHAHN
Suppose we leave that "insistently" quite out of consideration. What
request have you to make?
KRUEGER
None at all. I have no request to make. I am here in order to demand what
is my right.
WEHRHAHN
Your right? Ah, what is that, exactly?
KRUEGER
My good right. I have been robbed and it is my right that the local
authorities aid me in recovering my stolen possessions.
WEHRHAHN
Have you been refused such assistance?
KRUEGER
Certainly not. And that is not possible. Nevertheless, it is quite clear
that nothing is being done. The whole affair is making no progress.
WEHRHAHN
You imagine that things like that can be done in a day or two.
KRUEGER
I don't imagine anything, your honour. I have very definite proofs. You
are taking no interest in my affairs.
WEHRHAHN
I could interrupt you at this very point.
