WIFE. I have broken—one of my front teeth. Please don't look at me!
HUSBAND. Oh, you child!—With pain comes the first tooth, and with pain the first one goes.
WIFE. And now you'll leave me, of course?
HUSBAND. Not on your life! [Closing the bag with a snap] To-morrow we'll start for Augsburg to get you a new tooth of gold.
WIFE. But we'll never come back here.
HUSBAND. Not if you say so.
WIFE. And now your fears are gone?
HUSBAND. Yes—for another week.

HUSBAND. Thank you, Baroness, I have had coffee already, but for your sake I'll have another cup. And if you—[ROSE, dressed in white, appears in the doorway at that moment] and Miss Rose care to keep us company, we have no objection. On the contrary, nothing could please us better, as my wife and I are leaving on the first train to-morrow morning.
