Hauptmann, Gerhart, 1862-1946

"The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann Volume I"

_] I'm not accountable to any one. It's my own business
what I do; it's my own business with whom I associate; it's my own
business what I choose to think and write!
GLASENAPP
Why you can't hear your own words in this place no more! Your honour,
shall I go an' fetch a policeman? I can run right over and get one.
Mitteldorf!...
**End all**
WEHRHAHN
Quiet, please! [_Quiet is restored. To FLEISCHER._] You will please
remove that rag.
FLEISCHER
[_Obeys._] That rag, as you call it, will be forwarded to the public
prosecutor.
WEHRHAHN
You may do about that exactly as you please. [_He arises and takes from a
case in the wall the package brought by MRS. WOLFF._] Let us finally
dispose of this matter, then. [_To MRS. WOLFF._] Where did you find this
thing?
MRS. WOLFF
It ain't me that found it at all.
WEHRHAHN
Well, who did find it?
MRS. WOLFF
My youngest daughter.
WEHRHAHN
Well, why didn't you bring her with you then?
MRS. WOLFF
She was here, all right, your honour. An' then, I c'n go over an' fetch
her in a minute.
WEHRHAHN
That would only serve to delay the whole business again. Didn't the girl
tell you anything about it?
KRUEGER
You said it was found on the way to the railway station.
