H'm! Well then, listen carefully. If the undertaker--or any other stranger--should still be here when it begins to grow dark, throw on a wrap and wait at the door downstairs until a carriage stops. Will you?

Daisy.

Certainly I will. And Tempski?

v. Wolters.

Yes, Tempski, faithful as he is----

Daisy.

Tempski was never around in those days.

v. Wolters (looking at her in astonishment).

Oh--so Tempski--was never--around--in those days! H'm! Well then, I'll undertake to get rid of Tempski myself. Thank you, my child. (Gives her his hand, then aloud.) I have another errand, but I'll be back soon. (Goes out at the right.)
