Adelina. Willie, what did you run away from me for?
Schmidt. Oh, vot a nose!
Adelina. My nose, sir, is as good as yours, and more, for you have none at all.
Schmidt. Oh, vot a nose. (he tries to touch the end of it.)
Adelina (gets excited, says). My nose is handsomer than yours. But, Willie, Willie, what did you run away for?
Schmidt. Vot, me run away from you? I vood not run away from a little girl so high. (he measures the height with his two hands.)
Adelina. You promised to marry me, then you run away from me in Philadelphia.
Schmidt. Vot! Me marry you viv that ’ere nose?
Adelina (very passionately). Nose or no nose, I’ll not marry you at all now. You are one nasty, bad man; took me to Philadelphia, promised to marry me, then ran away. Bad man, bad man. I come right here and found you out. [Exit.
