FLAMM

Good-bye.

STRECKMANN leaves the room.

FLAMM [Excitedly, to himself.] If one could only get at the throat of a creature like that!

MRS. FLAMM is wheeled in by a maid from FLAMM'S den.

What are you muttering about again?—[At a gesture from her the maid retires.]—Did you have any annoyance?
