The gentleman makes you a present of the money.
SCHMOCK.
He makes me a present of the money? It's a miracle! I tell you what,
Colonel, if I don't succeed with the money it remains a gift, but if I
work my way up with it I return it. I hope I will work my way up.
COLONEL. Do just as you like about that.
SCHMOCK.
I like to have it that way, Colonel.—Meanwhile I thank you, and may some other joy come to make it up to you. Good day, Sir and Madam.
ADELAIDE.
We must not forget the lunch. [Rings, KORB enters.] Dear Korb! [Talks in a low tone to him.]
SCHMOCK.
O please, do not go to that trouble!
[Exeunt SCHMOCK and KORB.]
