(Brusquely.)
Sorry. Won't have time. What did you want me for?
FREDA
My! There's the man of it!
(Imitating his voice and manner.) What did you want me for?
(Natural voiced)

(Motions to Maid to help him off with his bearskin overcoat.)
Must know what he's wanted for. Must know right away. Must go right away. Oh, my! Oh, my!
(Maid starts to help him off with overcoat. He jerks away from her.)
