[_He drinks._
MRS. FIELITZ
I say: let's drink to our health. I don't care about people nor what they
thinks.--But if, maybe, you do want to sell some day--who knows?... I c'n
talk to Schmarowski. You two might agree.
_DR. BOXER, EDE and LEONTINE enter._
DR. BOXER
You're having a very jolly time here, Mrs. Fielitz.
MRS. FIELITZ
Just to-day. It's an exception; that it is!
EDE
Young lady! Hey, there! You want to see somethin'? Langheinrich is
dancin' around on the church-steeple!
_MRS. FIELITZ rises with difficulty and looks out._
LEONTINE
I can't bear to look at things like that even.
EDE
Let him fall! He won't fall nowhere but on his feet; he's just like a
cat.
DR. BOXER
[_Softly and half-humorously threatening RAUCHHAUPT._] Stop exciting my
patient all the time. A deuce of a lot of good all my doctoring will do
then!
MRS. FIELITZ
You c'n leave the man be, Doctor. People has put him up to things.
Otherwise he's the best feller in the world.
DR. BOXER
Very well, then! And beyond that, Mrs. Fielitz, how do you feel?
MRS. FIELITZ
Well enough. 'Tis true,--[_she points to her breast_]--somethin's cracked
inside o' here.
