A plain Tradesman's Room, with old fashioned Furniture.
Master Clarenbach. (Busied with a design.)
Clar. So!--there is my design, and I think it is a pretty good one. It will make a substantial building.--When I am gone, people will say, when they look at the pile, "Master Clarenbach was a man that knew what he was about."
SCENE II.
Enter Lewis.
Lew. Deputy Clarenbach presents his compliments to Master Clarenbach, and sends him something.
Clar. What?
Lew. Deputy Clarenbach presents his compliments, and sends something.
Clar. (takes off his spectacles.) So my son sends me his compliments? So! well,--return him a good morrow from me. What is it he sends?--money! (opens the paper;) for what? he has written nothing in it, a mere blank.
Lew. I do not know; I am to have a receipt for it.
