SCENE 3
HERMAN. Geske! Geske!
GESKE (off stage). I haven't time.
HERMAN. Come out here! I have something to tell you that you never dreamed of in all your life.
(Enter Geske.)
GESKE. Now, what is it?
HERMAN. Have you any coffee in the house?
GESKE. What nonsense! When did I use coffee last?
HERMAN. You will need it from now on. Within half an hour you will receive calls from the wives of all the members of the council.
GESKE. I think the man is dreaming.
