SCENE VI.
Jozwowicz alone—then Anton.
Doctor.—The men who have not such sons are great! Ha! ha! ha!
Anton (rushing in).—You are here? Here are your receipts for the money. Why are you laughing?
Doctor.—Miliszewski has gone to challenge Pretwic.
Anton.—Are they crazy?
Doctor.—What an opinion she would have of Pretwic if he were to quarrel with such an idiot!
Anton.—You have done it.
Doctor.—I told you that I shall assist nature.
Anton.—Do as you please; I withdraw.
Doctor.—Good-bye. Or no, I am going also. I must prevent the adventure from going too far.
Anton.—I wanted to tell you that I must buy some food for my children. I will return the money—later on. Is it all right?
Doctor.—How can you ask? (Goes out.)
