MRS. FIELITZ
No, you ain't disturbin' me.
RAUCHHAUPT
Is I disturbin' anybody else then?
MRS. FIELITZ
I don't know about that. It depends.

[_Enters. His appearance is not quite so neglected as formerly._] My

MRS. FIELITZ
[_With forced joviality._] You got a fine instinct for them things,
Rauchhaupt.
RAUCHHAUPT

just met Dr. Boxer, too. He's goin' to come up and see you in a minute,
too. An' I axed him about a certain matter, too.
MRS. FIELITZ
What kind o' thing was that?
RAUCHHAUPT
About that time, you know! They says that he said somethin' to
Langheinrich that time an' Langheinrich said somethin' to him, too.
MRS. FIELITZ
