Simon.
Don’t come so close to me—never come so close to a man with a knife——No-o-o-o—I have no bad intentions. I only wanted to say, that I warned you—when—she lay in the docks.
Bos.
You lie, you rascal!
Simon.
Now just for the joke of it—you ask—ask—ask your bookkeeper and your daughter—who were there——
Bos.
[Vehemently.] That’s a lie. You’re not worth an answer, you sot! I have nothing to do with you! My business is with your employer. Did you understand me, Kaps?
Simon.
My employer—doesn’t do the caulking himself. [To Kaps, who has advanced to the gate.] Didn’t I warn him?—wasn’t you there?
