Just that you need not tell him. [Sighing, aside.] On these lines I shall learn nothing whatever. [Pause, gravely.] See here, dear Korb, I have heard all sorts of things about Mr. Bolz that surprise me. He is said to live an irregular life.
KORB.
Yes, I imagine he does; he always was a wild colt.
ADELAIDE.
He is said to spend more than his income.
KORB.
Yes, that is quite possible. But I am perfectly sure he spends it merrily.
ADELAIDE (aside).
Small consolation I shall get from him! (Indifferently.) He has now a good position, I suppose; won't he soon be looking for a wife?
