stamps his feet gently on the floor. To WULKOW._] This is our excellent

on her shoulder._] And as surely as it is true when I say: Mrs. Wolff is
an honest woman; so surely I tell you: this Dr. Fleischer of yours, of
whom we were speaking, is a thoroughly dangerous person!
MRS. WOLFF
[_Shaking her head resignedly._] Well, then I don't know no more what to
think ...
