BOLZ (stupefied for a moment, reads).
"Ceded to Conrad Bolz"—correct! So that would be a sort of gift.

[Falls on his knees before ADELAIDE.]
Here I kneel, Adelaide! What I am saying I don't know in my joy, for the whole room is dancing round with me. If you will take me for your husband, you will do me the greatest favor in the world. If you don't want me, box my ears and send me off!
ADELAIDE (bending down to him).
I do want you! (Kissing him.) This was the cheek!
BOLZ.
And these are the lips.
