Werner heard from me, how they had treated your claims upon the War
Office. He heard--

MAJ. T.
That I should certainly be a beggar soon, if I was not one already. I
am much obliged to you, Just. And the news induced Werner to offer to
share his little all with me. I am very glad that I guessed this.
Listen, Just; let me have your account, directly, too; we must part.

JUST.
How! what!

MAJ. T.
Not a word. There is someone coming.



SCENE V.
Lady /in mourning/, Major von Tellheim, Just

LADY.
I ask your pardon, sir.

MAJ. T.
Whom do you seek, Madam?

LADY.
The worthy gentleman with whom I have the honour of speaking. You do
not know me again. I am the widow of your late captain.
