Getting their jubilation up.—Well met!

[To Guldstad, who enters with an overcoat on his arm.

Ah, slipping off, sir?

Guldstad.

Yes, with your goodwill.

But let me first put on my overcoat.

We prose-folks are susceptible to chill;

The night wind takes us by the tuneless throat.

Good evening!

Falk.
