Paul.

[Confidentially.] The old hag has turned up again.

Brauer.

[Alarmed.] Wha---- The devil you say! H'm! Who--who has seen her?

Paul.

She was seen begging in the village--and last night, one of my men observed her creeping stealthily around the sheds yonder.

Brauer.

[Scratching his head.] Yes, yes! I had almost forgotten. She has served her last sentence--fully five years!--we have been free from her annoying presence and now, she has returned. Well, what does she want?

Paul.
