HENSCHEL [_Holding out his leg to HANNE._] Come, pull off my boots for me! That was a wind that blew down here on the road from Freiburg. People tell me it unroofed the church in the lower village more'n half, [_To HANNE._] Just keep on tuggin'! Can't you get it? MRS. HENSCHEL [_To HANNE._] I don't know! You don't seem to learn nothin'! [_HANNE succeeds in pulling off one boot. She puts it aside and starts on the other._ HENSCHEL Keep still, mother! You don't do it any better! HANNE [_Pulls off the second boot and puts it aside. Then in a surly voice to HENSCHEL._] Did you bring me my apron from Kramsta? HENSCHEL All the things I'm axed to keep in my head! I'm content if I c'n keep my own bit of business straight an' get my boxes safe to the railroad. What do I care about women or their apron-strings? |
