Hugo. Here we are with our honor and still we've made ourselves ridiculous.
Lothar. We acted quite correctly.
Hugo. But, Lothar, the coffee, the coffee.
Lothar. One must be willing to sacrifice for the sake of his Honor, my friend. I am glad I could do you this service, Kurt--What would you have done without me? Well, until to-night.
Kurt. Are you going back to town already?
Lothar. Yes.
Kurt. I'll go with you.
Lothar. Oh, that will look as though you wanted to get away from the noble brother.
Kurt. What do you mean?
Lothar. Do you want the Count to laugh in his sleeve? Now it has become almost a duty to stay.
