You have done everything very satisfactorily. I am much obliged to you. You understand that the removal of the coffin to the church is to be accomplished as secretly as possible.
Kellermann.
I'm silent as the grave, Lieutenant. My business sort of carries that with it, don't you know.
v. Wolters.
It will be dark about half past five. I have ordered the troops that are to accompany the casket to be here at half past six. At the church--the catafalque and the rest--I can confidently leave all that to you?
Kellermann.
Most assuredly, Lieutenant. I shall see that everything is of the finest.
v. Wolters.
But remember your instructions: all superfluous ostentation is to be rigorously avoided--to-morrow at the funeral procession, also.
Kellermann.
