Mischievous boys, no doubt. I investigated, of course.
I'm told you want to settle down here?--There's a very good physician
here now--formerly of the army staff--very capable.
DR. BOXER
I don't doubt that for a moment.
WEHRHAHN
To be quite frank--as things are now--I wonder whether this is an
appropriate territory for you?
DR. BOXER
I can take some time to discover that.
WEHRHAHN
Naturally. So can we. So continue, please.--What was it that you
observed, Dr. Boxer?
DR. BOXER
The incident of the matches certainly.
WEHRHAHN
The incident of the horn blowing and of the matches.
DR. BOXER
Certainly.
WEHRHAHN
Where were you when all this took place?
DR. BOXER
I stood in front of Langheinrich's smithy.
WEHRHAHN
Did you have any particular business there?--You needn't get impatient at
all. I understand that it doesn't concern me at present. Your sympathetic
affinity for the working classes is known to us from of old.--The boy
will be arrested now. I imagine that Constable Tschache has captured him.
At all events--is on his trail. He was seen, in Rahnsdorf too. Please
call in Sadowa!
