Ah, Mrs. Brauer, you and I are old, and not much good for anything but work; but we must spare our young people. Why, at times she almost gives out.
Mrs. Brauer.
Well, I will come and see for myself.
Katie.
Thank you!!! Oh, such a day!!! I am so happy---- [Exit both L.]
Brauer.
[Enters with George and Gertrude.] Thank goodness, that's over. Let me see: first it was the old soldiers, then the Turners, and now the Singing Society---- But do you know, I am so sick of all this wine--give me a brandy.
Gertrude.
[Gets drink from sideboard.] Yes, papa!
