STROEBEL. Then how can you say it does not express class hatred
and contempt?

REISACHER. Because, then again, you see, people who have money are
respected anyway.

STROEBEL. You will never learn to think precisely, Reisacher.

REISACHER. Yes, Herr Assessor.

[Both resume their former positions. Short pause. Police
Commissioner, Freiherr van Simbach, enters left. Stroebel lays
aside his paper, rises and salutes. Reisacher writes hurriedly.]

COMMISSIONER [Footnote: President of Police, in original.]
'Morning, Herr Assessor. [To Reisacher.] Take your work outside,
Reisacher, until I have finished. [Reisacher exit through middle
door.] I want to ask you a few questions, Herr Stroebel. [Stroebel
bows. The Commissioner during the conversation takes center of
stage and speaks nonchalantly and somewhat drawingly.] I read your
report. Day before yesterday, that was on Saturday, you ordered
the arrest of a certain woman.

STROEBEL. Yes, Commissioner.

COMMISSIONER. Well, what about her?

STROEBEL. According to the report of Lieutenant Schmuttermaier, we
