Are you here with my wife? Is she, too, in the circus?

Gentleman

[Quickly]: Oh, no! I am alone. She stayed there!

He

You've left her already?

Gentleman

[Humbly]: No—we have—a son. After your sudden and mysterious disappearance—when you left that strange and insulting letter——

He

[Laughs]: Insulting? You are still able to feel insults? What are you doing here? Were you looking for me, or is it an accident?

Gentleman
