Hauptmann, Gerhart, 1862-1946

"The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann Volume I"

FIELITZ
I don't see what grudge you got against Langheinrich? He went an' took us
into his house....
FIELITZ
He did that 'cause he's got his reason an' 'cause he wants a high rent.
MRS. FIELITZ
You better be glad he is the way he is.
FIELITZ
On account o' that bit o' business with the fuse? You go right ahead an'
let him trample on you.
MRS. FIELITZ
What was that there about a fuse?
FIELITZ
That business? What d'you s'ppose? Dr. Boxer talked about it too.
MRS. FIELITZ
I don't know nothin' about them affairs o' yours.
FIELITZ
Mother, I got a good conscience.
MRS. FIELITZ
You c'n go an' put it in a glass case.
FIELITZ
Mother, I ain't sayin' nothin' else right now ...
MRS. FIELITZ
That's all foolishness!
FIELITZ
All right.
MRS. FIELITZ
Schmarowski was here. How's that now with, the mortgage?
FIELITZ
You mean that my mortgage is now the fourth?
MRS. FIELITZ
Anybody knows that a buildin' like that costs money.
FIELITZ
Schmarowski is sinkin' all his money in bricks an' mortar.
MRS. FIELITZ
Nonsense!
FIELITZ
It's a fac'! That thing has taken hold o' him like a sickness.
MRS. FIELITZ
Main thing is that you agrees.
