But if I can go an' make more?
MRS. WOLFF
Yes, talkin'!
LEONTINE
No, sewin'! I can go in to Berlin and sew cloaks. Emily Stechow's been doin' that ever since New Year.
MRS. WOLFF
Don't come tellin' me about that slattern! I'd like to get my hands on her, that's all. I'd give that crittur a piece o' my mind! You'd like to be promoted into her class, would you? To go sportin' all night with the fellows? Just to be thinkin' o' that makes me feel that I'd like to beat you so you can't hardly stand up.—Now papa's comin' an' you'd better look out!
LEONTINE
If papa thrashes me, I'll run away. I'll see how I can get along!
