BOLLAND. Yes, Mother.
FRAU BOLLAND. You won't forget the theatre tonight? At eight. The Viennese actor is so fine. [Off to left. Followed by Effie and Fraulein Koch. Frau Bolland in the doorway.]
FRAU BOLLAND. Will you come with us, Herr Dobler? You can explain so many things.
DOBLER. I'll be glad to. [Shaking hands with Frau Beermann and bowing.]
BEERMANN. Come soon again, Herr Poet.
BOLLAND. And think over the story I told you.
[Dobler goes out left, following Frau Bolland, Effie, and Fraulein Koch.]
FRAU LUND [to Frau Beermann]. I'll just have a cup of coffee.
FRAU BEERMANN. I'll tell them to make a fresh cup for you. A fresh cup of coffee. [To the butler who is clearing the table.] Tell the chef—[Butler goes out through the middle door. In the meantime Frau Holland again appears through left.]
FRAU BOLLAND. Adolph!
