Scene VIII—At Home
Hans. Why are you unhappy again, little sister?
Gretchen. Why should I be happy? I am tired of this palace. There is only one thing that would make me happy. Go to the Red Fox. Tell him I must have the great silver ball that hangs over us in the sky.
Hans. Be satisfied, dear sister. We are quite happy as we are.
Gretchen. No, no. I will not be satisfied. You must do as I tell you.
