Maybe that's true too, Mr. Siebenhaar.—Let it be; we'll talk about somethin' else. 'Tisn't your fault; I always said that. An' I can't blame my brother-in law neither. He knows where he gets all that from, 'Tis she herself goes roun' to people an' tells 'em. She's everywhere—now here an' now there. I s'pose she was with her brother too.
WERMELSKIRCH
Who is it that goes about among people? Not a soul is thinking of that affair of the other night, That's quite forgotten by this time.
HENSCHEL
It sticks to me—it does—turn it any way you please. She knows how to go about it. She's everywhere, an' she'll persuade folks. An' even, if people was goin' to be silent for my sake an' wasn't after me like so many dogs—nothin' c'n do any good. It'll stick to me.
SIEBENHAAR
Henschel, we won't go away until you've put that, out of your mind. You must calm, yourself entirely.
HENSCHEL
Oh, I'm sensible now an' quiet, reel quiet.
