[There is excitement in the crowd, and again a bustling and shouting among the photographers.]
Tall Tourist. We must hurry, ladies and gentlemen. He must be saved at any cost. Who's going with me?
The Curious [in chorus]. We are all going! We are all going?
Tall Tourist. Policemen, did you hear? Come, ladies and gentlemen!
[They depart, fiercely gesticulating. The café grows more lively. The sound of clinking beer glasses and the clatter of steins is heard, and the beginning of a loud German song. The bartender, who has forgotten himself while talking to somebody, starts suddenly and runs off, looks up to the sky with a hopeless air and wipes the perspiration from his face with his napkin. Angry calls of Waiter! Waiter!]
Unknown Man [rather loudly]. Can you let me have some soda water?
[The waiter is startled, looks at the sky, glances at the man on the rock, and pretending not to have heard him, walks away.]
Many Voices. Waiter! Beer!
Waiter. One moment, one moment!
[Two drunken men come out from the café.]
