LANDLORD, the rest as before
Land. (to FRANZISKA). Hist! my pretty maid! A word! | 1 |
| Fran. (to the LANDLORD). Mr. Landlord, we do not yet know ourselves what is in the letter. | 2 |
| Land. Who wants to know about the letter! I come about the ring. The lady must give it to me again, directly. Just is there, and wants to redeem it. | 3 |
| Min. (who in the meantime has approached the LANDLORD). Tell Just that it is already redeemed; and tell him by whom—by me. | 4 |
| Land. But— | 5 |
| Min. I take it upon myself. Go! (Exit LANDLORD.) | 6 |
