Robert. (Starts forward toward him, but controls himself) Have the gentlemen any further questions?

Muhlingk. What monies have you brought with you?

Robert. I have notes from different banks amounting to about 95,000 gulden--here they are.

Muhlingk. Kurt, check that up. (Kurt rises and takes each paper from Robert in turn and looks it through)

Robert. Have you finished, Herr Councillor?

Muhlingk. Just a minute. (Pause)

Kurt. Correct.

Muhlingk. Well, my dear Herr--Heinecke, I wish you success in your future enterprises. Be an industrious fellow and don't forget what you owe to this house.

Robert. No, Herr Councillor, I shan't forget! Here is the forty thousand marks that you had the kindness to give to my father.

Muhlingk. This forty thousand was a gift, not a loan.
