Why, didn't I have to go and fetch the boots for father?
MRS. WOLFF
An' you staid out two hours doin' it!
ADELAIDE
Well, I didn't start to go till seven.
MRS. WOLFF
Oh, you went at seven, did you? It's half past ten now. You don't know that, eh? So you've been gone three hours an' a half. That ain't much. Oh, no. Well now you just listen good to what I've got to tell you. If you go an' stay that long again, and specially with that lousy cobbler of a Fielitz—then watch out an' see! That's all I says.
ADELAIDE
Oh, I guess I ain't to do nothin' except just mope around at home.
