RAUCHHAUPT has come out of the little gate. He faces the wind, shades his eyes with his hand and peers around.
RAUCHHAUPT
Lord A'mighty! Well, well! Things is goin' the queerest way to-day! When is they comin' back—them Fielitzes?
LANGHEINRICH
That ain't goin' to be so very soon to-day. They've gone to buy a seven-day clock, a regulator. What are you upset about to-day?
RAUCHHAUPT
Wha'? Fielitz goin' to buy that kind of a clock? I don't believe's he c'n survive that. [Calls.] Gustav!
LANGHEINRICH
Ain't he come back yet? I guess he's listenin' to the bells. You know how he sits an' listens when they ring.
