An' now you sit on
your money bag like an old watch dog.
MRS. FIELITZ
That money--it ain't to be thrown away so easy. 'Twas earned too bitter
hard for that.
FIELITZ
... You forgets that I've been in trouble before. Is I to go an' get
locked up again?
MRS. FIELITZ
Never mind, Fielitz, to-morrow is another day. A person mustn't go an'
take things that serious! I was more'n half jokin' anyhow.--Go over to
Grabow's an' drink a glass o' beer!... We must all be satisfied's best we
can. An' even if you can't go an' open a shoe shop, an' even if you gotta
worry along cobblin' an' can't buy no clock--well, a good conscience is
worth somethin' too.
THE CURTAIN FALLS
THE SECOND ACT
_The smithy of LANGHEINRICH. The little house protrudes at an angle
into the village street. The shed that projects over the smithy is
supported by wooden posts. The empty space below the shed is used for
the storage of tools and materials. Wheels are leaned against the
wood, a plough, wheel-tyres, pieces of pig iron, etc. An anvil stands
in the open, too, and several working stools. From behind the house,
jutting out diagonally, a wooden wagon is visible.
