ACT I, SCENE VI
1. It takes money to change houses. 2. You are thrifty and I shall be very glad[l] to advance you your quarter's salary. 3. You have several shares in a steamboat company, but do not give me the certificates as security. 4. I am no usurer and will only charge you two per cent per annum; that will not kill you. 5. «You will get your dividend next month and can repay me then what you owe me.» 6. «Nonsense! That is too generous[2].» 7. «No. I am not grasping and I trust you.» 8. «Very well, then, shall repay you soon[3] the money I owe you. Thank you. Good-by!» 9. This little business having been settled, he goes to take his place among[4] the passengers who are lined up at the ticket-window.
