Mrs.Holt: Nor you, Netta! Olaf: Mother, the manager is bowing to us. Bernick: What? Mrs. Bernick: What are you saying, child? Mrs. Rummel: Yes, and--good Heavens--the woman is bowing to us too. Bernick: That is a little too cool-- Martha (exclaims involuntarily): Ah--! Mrs.Bernick: What is it, Martha? Martha: Nothing, nothing. I thought for a moment-- Olaf (shrieking with delight): Look, look, there are the rest of them, with the horses and animals! And there are the Americans, too! All the sailors from the "Indian Girl"!

Rorlund: I think we ought to withdraw ourselves from sight a little, ladies; we have nothing to do with such goings on. Let us go to our work again. |
