BOLZ (at middle door).
In here with the table!
MILLER (carries small table, all set, with wine-bottles, glasses and plates, to the foreground on the left; brings up five chairs while he speaks).
Mr. Piepenbrink sends his regards, with the message that the wine is yellow-seal, and that, if the Doctor drinks any healths, he must not forget Mr. Piepenbrink's health. He was very jolly, the stout gentleman. And Madam Piepenbrink reminded him that he ought to subscribe for the Union. He commissioned me to see to it.
BOLZ (who meanwhile has been turning over papers at the work-table on the right, rising).
Let's have some wine!
[MILLER pours some in a glass.]
In honor of the worthy vintner! [Drinks.]
I treated him scandalously, but he has proved true-hearted. Tell him his health was not forgotten. There, take this bottle along!—Now, get out!
[Exit MILLER. BOLZ opening the door on the left.]
