Enter Aulic Counsellor Reissman.

Reiss. Mr. Wellenberg!--

Well. Oh, that God--(Rises.)

Reiss. I want to speak with you.

Well. No, no! I will not.--Keep off, keep at six yards distance from me at least.

Reiss. I must have a private conversation with you.

Well. God forbid!

Soph. Dear Mr. Wellenberg grant it; I entreat you.

Well. Can I?--ask him.

P. Coun. I beg, I entreat you.
