REMBRANDT TEMPENNY (disconcerted).
I say I am a modest man, Mr. Schercl, but I feel safe in declaring that you will be satisfied with your bargain.
HENRICH SCHERCL.
"Bargain?" I do not tink dat ven I pay tree hundred bounds for a bicture it should be called a "pargain." Tree hundred bounds is very large brice; I shall have not made a pargain.
REMBRANDT TEMPENNY.
Er—quite so. You misunderstand me. I should have said your "contract"—you will be satisfied with your contract.
HENRICH SCHERCL.
If you should have said "gontract," vy did you say "Pargain." Vell, vell, let us see the bicture.
REMBRANDT TEMPENNY.
(With a desperate attempt to throw enthusiasm in his voice.) It is the best work I have done. I look to "Susannah" to advance my position enormously. People will talk about "Susannah." It is—er—full of rapture.
