DR. BOXER
Quite right. Dr. Boxer.
WEHRHAHN
So you are he! Aha! I would hardly have recognised you. Your mother still has the little notion shop here…. Your father was a—er—tradesman—?
DR. BOXER
[Voluntarily misunderstanding him.] Yes, my father was in the reserve forces and was decorated with the Iron Cross in 1870.
WEHRHAHN
Ah, yes. Of course. I recall.—Your mother came running to my office recently and brought along several stones. Her kitchen windows had been broken, I believe. Mischievous boys, no doubt. I investigated, of course. I'm told you want to settle down here?—There's a very good physician here now—formerly of the army staff—very capable.
DR. BOXER
I don't doubt that for a moment.
