STEIN.
And I shall accompany you part of the way. I ought not to walk all alone.
[Exeunt to the left.]
SCENE V
MÖLLER alone; later, GODFREY.
MÖLLER.
Even if the marriage with Miss Löhlein should not come to pass, at least Stein and Son have asserted themselves. It used to turn my stomach to see how he always was the first to make up. This time I am satisfied with my chief, and will not mind his rebuke. But who is making that noise out there? [At the door.] It is lucky that they went through the rooms. It is Godfrey. And in what condition! What sort of man do you call that? [_Leads in _GODFREY, who is intoxicated.]
GODFREY (while still behind the scenes).
Where is Stein? Hey there, fellow! Stein, I say! Is that you, Möller?
MÖLLER (with a patronizing air).
