ADOLPH. Yes—now I see.
GUSTAV. Look out, my boy!
ADOLPH. For what?
GUSTAV. For her revenge! Bear in mind that when you said she could not attract a man, you struck at what to her is most sacred—the one thing above all others. If you had told her that she wrote nothing but nonsense, she would have laughed at your poor taste. But as it is—believe me, it will not be her fault if her desire for revenge has not already been satisfied.
ADOLPH. I must know if it is so!
GUSTAV. Find out!
ADOLPH. Find out?
GUSTAV. Watch—I'll assist you, if you want me to.
ADOLPH. As I am to die anyhow—it may as well come first as last!
What am I to do?
GUSTAV. First of all a piece of information: has your wife any vulnerable point?
