Hauptmann, Gerhart, 1862-1946

"The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann Volume I"

But
havin' a office you got to look out all around. You just let Constable
Schulze alone! Did you read the letter from Schmarowski?
FIELITZ
Aw, yes, sure. I got enough o' him all right. I wish somebody'd given me
the money--half the money--that feller's had the use of. But no: nobody
never paid no attention to me. Nobody sent me to no school o'
architecture.
MRS. FIELITZ
I'd like to know what you got against Schmarowski! You're pickin' at him
all the time.
FIELITZ
Hold on! Not me! He ain't no concern o' mine. But every time you open
your mouth I gets ready to bet ten pairs o' boots that you're goin' to
talk about Schmarowski.
MRS. FIELITZ
Did he do you any harm, eh? Well?
FIELITZ
No, I can't say as he has. Not that I know. An' I wouldn't advise him to
try neither. Only when I sees him I gets kind o' sick at my stomick. You
oughta have married him yourself.
MRS. FIELITZ
If I had been thirty years younger--sure enough.
FIELITZ
Well, why don't you go an' move over to your daughter then! Go right on!
Hurry all you can an' go to Adelaide's. Then they got hold of you good
and tight an' you c'n get rid o' your savin's.
MRS. FIELITZ
That's an ambitious man.
