(He strikes with his fist, and wakes through the exertion).
Ha! there he is again! I cannot shut an eye without fighting with him.
I wish he got but half the blows. Why, it is morning! I must just look
for my poor master at once; if I can help it, he shall not set foot in

SCENE II.
Landlord, Just

LAND.
Good-morning, Herr Just; good-morning! What, up so early! Or shall I
say--up so late?

JUST.
Say which you please.

LAND.
I say only--good-morning! and that deserves, I suppose, that Herr Just
should answer, "Many thanks."

JUST.
Many thanks.

LAND.
One is peevish, if one can't have one's proper rest. What will you bet
the Major has not returned home, and you have been keeping watch for
him?
