_] I'll break every
stick in this here shop! To hell with the whole business: that's what I
says! I must ha' been just ravin' mad! There I goes an' burdens myself
with a devil of a woman like that, an' I might ha' lived as comfortable
as can be! She killed off one husband an' now I'm dam' idjit enough, to
take his place! But you're goin' to find out! It ain't goin' to be so
easy this time! I'll first kick you out before I'll let you get the best
o' me! Not me! No, sir! You c'n believe that!
MRS. FIELITZ
You needn't exert yourself that much, Fielitz ...
FIELITZ
Not me! Not me! You c'n depend on that! You ain't agoin' to down me! You
c'n take my word for it.
[_He sits down, exhausted._
MRS. FIELITZ
Maybe you might like throwin' some more boots. There's plenty of 'em
around here--I s'ppose you married me for love, eh?
FIELITZ
God knows why I did!
MRS. FIELITZ
If you'll go an' study it out, maybe you'll know why. Maybe it was out o'
pity? Eh? Maybe not.--Or maybe it was the money I had loaned out?--Well,
you see! I s'ppose that was it.--You c'n live a hundred years for my
part! But it's always the same thing. 'Twasn't much different with Julius
neither.
