Don't you?
FIELITZ
Not a bit! I don't agree to nothin'. I been a agent in my time an' took
care o' the most complexcated affairs. Yes, an' Wehrhahn patted me on the
back an' was mighty jolly 'cause I'd been so sly ... No, mother, I ain't
so green.--I c'n keep accounts! I knows how to use my pen! I'm more'n
half a lawyer! That feller ain't goin' to get the better o' me.
_SCHMAROWSKI enters very bustling. He has changed the style of his
garments considerably--light Spring overcoat, elegant little hat and
cane. He carries a roll of building plans._
SCHMAROWSKI
Mornin', Mrs. Fielitz. How are you now? Did you get over that slight
cold?
MRS. FIELITZ
Thank you kindly; I gets along. Take a seat.
SCHMAROWSKI
Yes, I will. I've reely deserved it. I've been on my feet since four
o'clock this morning! Lord only knows how I succeed in staggerin' along.
FIELITZ
Mornin'. I'm here too, you know.
SCHMAROWSKI
Good mornin'. Didn't notice you at all. I have my head so full these days
...
FIELITZ
Me too.
SCHMAROWSKI
Certainly. Don't doubt it! Have you anything to say to me? If so, go
ahead, please!
FIELITZ
Not this here moment! I got other things to attend to just now.
