[Turning to Kneir.] As for you, my wife doesn’t need you at present, you’re all a bad lot here.
Kneir.
[Anxiously.] Ach, Meneer, it isn’t my fault!
Geert.
Must you punish the old woman too?
Bos.
Blame your own sons for that! After this voyage you can look for another employer, who enjoys throwing pearls before swine better than I do!
Geert.
And now, get out! Get out! [Pushes the door shut after Bos.]
Kneir.
