P. Coun. Sir!
Reiss. And come to save you too. Has not he saved you once already this very day?--
P. Coun. Yes, he has that, honest man! May heaven reward him for it!
Reiss. He may perhaps save you once more yet, and perhaps not.--Meanwhile, give yourself no farther trouble to call here. Your servant, Sir.
P. Coun. (looks at his watch.) You distress me more than you know. If that can give you pleasure, enjoy it.
[Exit.
Reiss. (looking after him.) Hem! I ought to have discovered at first sight that the fellow is not fit for my purpose; he is simple enough to be in love in right earnest.--My foolish daughter loves him too; she fans his hopes, so of course he will not injure me, when cashiered. The Doctor is falling asleep, and the Lawyer,---hem!--must likewise be sent to rest,--else I shall have no rest myself!
[Exit.
