WERMELSKIRCH
I tell you, Hanne, anger spoils one's appetite.
HANNE
Well, I can't help bein' angry! He leaves everythin' in a mess. The 'bus is to leave on time! An' the one-horse carriage sticks in the mud out there an' Hauffe can't budge it! The old fellow is as stiff as a goat!
WERMELSKIRCH
Yes, things are beginning to look busy. The chef upstairs starts in to-day. It's beginning to look up in the tap-room too.
HANNE
[With a short derisive laugh.] You don't look, though, as if you had much to do!
WERMELSKIRCH
[Taking no offence.] Oh, that comes later, at eleven o'clock. But then I'm like a locomotive engine!
