Enter Mrs. Barrisnobe.
Schmidt. Veel, I do declare. I’ve been disturbed all night long with those black and white ghosts. I must get some sleep, for by and by that old woman will be coming up.
Mrs. B. (looking through the window). Well I never! There is that Dutchman sleeping now. I’ll just go and wake him up. (she approaches the bed) Hi, sir, you, here!
Schmidt. Vell, vot is de matter now?
Mrs. B. It is seven o’clock, sir.
Schmidt. Vell, I paid four dollars for this bed, and I have not had an inch of sleep out of it yet.
Mrs. B. Well, I only let you the bed for one night for four dollars.
Schmidt. Vell, you have let those ghosts and fellows trouble me all night, and I have not had four cents’ worth yet.
