EIGHTEENTH SCENE.
ADOLF. BRANDT.
ADOLF (aside).
It is amazing how uneasy he is when one merely approaches his sister-in-law. I must test
him. (Aloud.) She is a very spiritual girl, your sister-in-law.
BRANDT.
Oh yes . . . she has a good head on her shoulders.
ADOLF.
To say the least. No, she is unusually spirited.
BRANDT.
Oh yes, indeed. But, what I wanted to say, I must still show you my new Tilbury, that I
spoke of earlier. Would you like . . . ?
ADOLF.
Yes, at once . . . . But to come back to your sister-in-law, when could I next attempt to
try my luck with her?
Try your luck? What do you mean?
BRANDT (terrified).
ADOLF.
