I have come, Mrs. Flamm, to bring Rose's excuses to you. Good-day, Mrs.
Flamm.
MRS. FLAMM
Good-day to you, Mr. Keil.
AUGUST
My betrothed had to go to the county court to-day, or she would ha' come herself. But she'll be comin' in this evenin'.
MRS. FLAMM
I'm real pleased to get a chance to see you. How are you getting on? Sit down.
AUGUST
God's ways are mysterious! An' when His hand rests heavy on us, we mustn't complain. On the contrary, we must rejoice. An' I tell you, Mrs. Flamm, that's almost the way I'm feelin' nowadays. I'm content. The worse things gets, the gladder I am. 'Tis layin' up more an' more treasures in heaven.
