2 In referring to the light thereafter, Magnus is meant.
THE DEVIL
Well, Schwartzenhopfel?
SCHWARTZENHOPFEL (in Magnus’s body)
Ach Gott!
[The Devil turns on the electricity in the fringed white candelabrum, whereby the room becomes pervaded with a gentle glow of light. Schwartzenhopfel rises, stretches, pats himself; throws out each leg, each arm; tries to speak, but is overcome with emotion and bursts into tears. From tears he is translated into hysterical laughter. The room begins to grow lighter, but furious rain continues outside. Schwartzenhopfel follows the light around the room, pointing at it derisively, his body doubling up with speechless laughter each time he points. The light moves away with dignity. Finally, to escape persecution, it flies out of the window.
THE DEVIL
Here! That is not right. (Satirically amused) Driving a controller of money-markets out into the rain.
[Schwartzenhopfel, paying no attention, leaps and bounds about the room like an unwieldly baboon. Agnus reënters by hall door.
AGNUS (shocked)
