Col. G. The cab is at the door, sir.
Ger. Thank you. Then show Miss Lacordère out. Stay. I will open the door for her myself. Exeunt GER. and CON.
Col. G. He speaks like one in despair, forcing every word! If he should die! Oh, my God!
Re-enter GER. Walks up and down the room.
Col. G. Ain't you going, sir?
Ger. No. I have sent the lady in the cab.
Col. G. Then hadn't you better lie down, sir?
Ger. Lie down! What do you mean? I'm not in the way of lying down except to sleep.
Col. G. And let me go for the doctor, sir?
