Look here, Wittig. You've always jawed such a lot about the French Revolution, and a good deal too about your own doings. A time may be coming, and that before long, when every one will have a chance to show whether he's a braggart or a true man.
WITTIG
[Flaring up angrily.] Say another word if you dare! Has you heard the whistle o' bullets? Has you done outpost duty in an enemy's country?
JAEGER

WITTIG
None of your comradeship for me, you impudent young fool.
Enter KUTSCHE, the policeman.
