Isn't that good for us?
HERMAN
No, dear. I did not tell you this is the first year I am short on wheat.
KARL
What does it mean to be short on wheat?
DEVIL, seated on couch L.
It means digging a ditch for others and falling into it yourself.
[To HERMAN:
I don't think you've any cause for uneasiness. I have inside information that the American crop will be excellent.
HERMAN, C.
