I should like to see Mr. Fichtner again. I am fond of that kind of people.
WEGRAT
What do you mean by "that kind of people"?
JOHANNA
Who are always arriving from some far-off place.
WEGRAT
But as a rule he never arrived from far-off places when you knew him, Johanna.... He was living right here.
JOHANNA
What did it matter whether he was living here or elsewhere?—Even when he came to see us daily, it was always as if he had just arrived from some great distance.
