Glyszinski. Since I have been in your company nothing surprises me!
Hella (continues). But Paul must listen to reason. My position is clearly correct. You do not know him as I do. Paul is tender-hearted; all that is necessary is to know how to deal with him. (She reflects a moment and concludes.) Possibly I did not always know how to do that.
Glyszinski (deprecatingly). Don't belittle yourself, Hella!
Hella. And there shall be a change. But first of all he must get away from here. Of course we shall have to wait till after the funeral. But then I shall not allow myself to be kept here any longer. I'll get in and ride away and Paul will be forced to come along. When I once have him in Berlin again ...
Glyszinski. And the estate?
Hella. I'll simply sell that.
Glyszinski (rushes up to her with flaming eyes). Hella!
Hella (coldly). Well?
Glyszinski. Are you going to leave Paul?
Hella. How so? What is the matter with you?
