Enter JOHN the coachman.
JOHN
If you please, m'm, I've put to the horses. Mr. Weinhold's put Georgie and Charlie into the carriage. If it comes to the worst, we're ready to be off.
MRS. DREISSIGER
If what comes to the worst?
JOHN
I'm sure I don't know, m'm. But I'm thinkin' this way: The crowd's gettin' bigger and bigger, an' they've sent the superintendent an' the p'liceman to the right-about.
PFEIFER
It's gettin' serious now, Mr. Dreissiger! It's serious!
