AGNUS (wildly)
Fanny, I give you my word—
[Fanny stares at him. Agnus realizes his position and grows shamefacedly silent.
THE DEVIL (introducing Agnus)
My friend, Mr. Schwartzenhopfel. A very nice fellow—with a ridiculous name.
[The light darts at him viciously.
THE DEVIL
Heard me speak so much of you—feels like an old friend.—Call her “Fanny,” Schwartzenhopfel. Call him “Hop,” Fanny—“Hop” for short.
FANNY (recovering her breath)
You’ve been drinking!
