Major (shaking his head, examines him).

Remarkable!

Agnes (who returns with a bottle and glasses).

There is the wine, dear Fritz.

Fritz.

Ah, if only the wine is there! (Hurries to the table and pours the wine.) Does no one touch glasses with me?

Major.

Just wait, I will touch glasses with you.

Fritz.

Then long life to us, friends! May we live happily.... Long may we live.... (Musing.) May we live as long as possible!
