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
