Would you really turn off still more of the old workmen?
Bernick.
No, that is not what I am thinking of.
Aune.
I’m certain sure, if you did, there would be a fine to-do both in the town and in the newspapers.
Bernick.
Very possibly; therefore I won’t do it. But if the Indian Girl is not cleared the day after to-morrow, I shall dismiss you.
Aune.
[With a start.] Me! [Laughing.] Oh, that’s only your joke, Consul.
Bernick.
