I've already sent her away, mamma.

MRS. SCHWARTZE.

That's right, that's right. [Exit Marie. Mrs. Schwartze knocks again.] Leopold! listen to me, Leopold! [Retreating.] Oh, Heaven! he's coming! [Enter Schwartze, bent and tottering.]

MRS. SCHWARTZE.

How do you feel, Leopold?

SCHWARTZE.

[Sinking into a chair.] Yes, yes,--just like the roses. The knife conies, and cuts the stem, and the wound can never be healed. What am I saying? What?

MRS. SCHWARTZE.

He's out of his mind.

SCHWARTZE.
