Wu geht Ihr, bedad?...

[Impatiently]

Houly Moses, komm' zurick!

[Exit anxiously, re-enter with Frau Quixano.]

[Mendel, carrying the violin, escorts his mother and Kathleen to the elevator. When they are near it, it stops with a thud, and Pappelmeister springs out, his umbrella up, meeting them face to face. He looks happy and beaming over David's triumph.]

PAPPELMEISTER [In loud, joyous voice]

Nun, Frau Quixano, was sagen Sie? Vat you tink of your David?

FRAU QUIXANO
