HASSENREUTER
Just why? I don't understand the logic of that. On the other hand, I have been asking myself whether the confused speeches of the Polish girl, the theft committed in my loft, and the milk bottle which Quaquaro brought down in a boot—whether all these things had not something to do with the notice in the papers.
MRS. JOHN
No, there ain't no connection between them things. Has you seen Paul, sir?
HASSENREUTER
Paul? Ah yes; that's your husband. Yes, yes. Indeed I saw him in conversation with detective Puppe, who visited me too in connection with the theft.
JOHN enters.
JOHN
Well, Jette, wasn't I right? This here thing's happened soon enough!
