so many things.

DOBLER. I'll be glad to. [Shaking hands with Frau Beermann and
bowing.]

BEERMANN. Come soon again, Herr Poet.

BOLLAND. And think over the story I told you.

[Dobler goes out left, following Frau Bolland, Effie, and Fraulein
Koch.]

FRAU LUND [to Frau Beermann]. I'll just have a cup of coffee.

FRAU BEERMANN. I'll tell them to make a fresh cup for you. A fresh
cup of coffee. [To the butler who is clearing the table.] Tell the
chef--[Butler goes out through the middle door. In the meantime
Frau Holland again appears through left.]

FRAU BOLLAND. Adolph!

BOLLAND. Yes--wifey?

FRAU BOLLAND. Thursday the circus comes to town, don't forget to
reserve seats.

BOLLAND. All right!

FRAU BOLLAND [while going out]. I'm still a child when the circus
comes.
