Mrs.Rummel: No, of course I don't mean we, but--
Dina: I should like to see a circus very much. Olaf: So should I. Hilmar: You are a duffer. Is that anything to see? Mere tricks. No, it would be something quite different to see the Gaucho careering over the Pampas on his snorting mustang. But,Heaven help us, in these wretched little towns of ours. Olaf (pulling at MARTHA'S dress): Look, Aunt Martha! Look, there they come! Mrs.Holt: Good Lord, yes--here they come. Mrs.Lynge: Ugh, what horrid people! (A number of passengers and a whole crowd of townsfolk, are seen coming up the street.) Mrs.Rummel: They are a set of mountebanks, certainly. Just look at that woman in the grey dress, Mrs. Holt--the one with a knapsack over her shoulder. Mrs.Holt: Yes--look--she has slung it on the handle of her parasol. The manager's wife, I expect. Mrs.Rummel: And there is the manager himself, no doubt. He looks a regular pirate. Don't look at him, Hilda! |
