I’m going quite gently.
Mrs Scholz.
Oh God-oh-God-oh-God!—Well—very, very gently!
Augusta (hastily entering from R.).
Father is here?
Mrs Scholz (beside herself).
Why, of course! And now what’s to be done! The next thing will be William—Oh! the deadly fear I’ve been in! if he and his father were to meet! Any minute he may come in! What an experience to go through for an old woman like me!
Augusta.
What an extraordinary sensation, mamma, extraordinary!—We were so used to—It’s like a man risen from the dead after long years.—I’m frightened, mamma.
Mrs Scholz.
