LIEUTENANT. No nonsense! The contract is closed, and you have taken the money.
MONTANUS. Distinguendum est inter contractum verum et apparentem.
LIEUTENANT. Can you deny that you have received a ducat from me?
MONTANUS. Distinguendum est inter rem et modum rei.
LIEUTENANT. Come, follow me straight, comrade! You must get your uniform.
MONTANUS. There are your two rix-dollars back. You have no witnesses to my taking the money.
SCENE 3
(Enter Jesper and Niels the Corporal.)
JESPER. I can bear witness that I saw the lieutenant put money into his hand.
NIELS. I too.
