HUMMEL. He will be rich, thanks to me.
MUMMY. Have you been invited for to-night?
HUMMEL. No, but I intend to get an invitation for your spook supper.
MUMMY. Do you know who will be here?
HUMMEL. Not quite.
MUMMY. The Baron—he who lives above us, and whose father-in-law was buried this afternoon....
HUMMEL. The man who is getting a divorce to marry the daughter of the Janitress.... The man who used to be—your lover!
MUMMY. Another guest will be your former fiancée, who was seduced by my husband....
HUMMEL. Very select company!
MUMMY. If the Lord would let us die! Oh, that we might only die!
