We venture to urge you, knowing that so good a soldier as you,
Colonel, makes up his mind quickly.
COLONEL (after struggling inwardly).
Well, so be it, gentlemen, I accept! Tell the committee I appreciate their confidence. This evening we will talk over details.
BLUMENBERG.
We thank you, Colonel. The whole town will be rejoiced to hear of your decision.
COLONEL.
Good-by until this evening.
