JACOBUS
One thou—Come, come! This was no sober bargain.—
No man in reason could—
PIPER
One thousand guilders.
KURT
One thousand rogueries!
JACOBUS [to PIPER] You jest too far.
AXEL
Lucky, if he get aught!—Two hundred traps,
And nine, and thirty! By Saint Willibald,
When was I paid?
AXEL'S WIFE
Say, now!
PIPER
. . . One thousand guilders.
PETER the Cobbler
Give him an hundred.
HANS the Butcher
Double!
HANS' WIFE
You were fools
To make agreement with him.—Ask old Claus.
He has the guilders; and his house was full
0' rats!
