BEERMANN. So-o?
STROEBEL. Or the Hochstetter ...
BEERMANN. Well, since you say so, it must be so.
STROEBEL. First I thought you came to express your satisfaction that we had caught this person ...
BEERMANN. No, that was not my purpose.
STROEBEL. I am sure it wasn't. I was quite surprised that you were not satisfied with her arrest.
BEERMANN. Why shouldn't I not be satisfied with her arrest?
STROEBEL [nervously]. But, Herr Beermann, you will recollect how we discussed the diary.
BEERMANN [quickly]. A diary? I know nothing about it.
STROEBEL. You even became quite excited about it.
