WULKOW
I'd like to report the birth of ...
WEHRHAHN
Matter of the public registry. The books, Glasenapp. That is to say, I'll attend to the other affair first. [_To MRS. WOLFF._] What's the trouble about your daughter? Did Mr. Krueger box her ears again?
MRS. WOLFF
Well, he didn't go that far no time.
WEHRHAHN
What's the trouble, then?
MRS. WOLFF
It's about this here package ...
WEHRHAHN
[_To GLASENAPP._] Hasn't Motes been here yet?
GLASENAPP
Not up to this time.
WEHRHAHN
That's incomprehensible. Well, girl, what do you want?
GLASENAPP
It's in the matter of the stolen fur coat, your honour.
WEHRHAHN
Is that so? Can't possibly attend to that today. No one can do everything at once. [_To MRS. WOLFF._] She may come in to-morrow.

WEHRHAHN
What's wrapped up in those rags, eh?
MRS. WOLFF
There's a green waist-coat what belongs to Mr. Krueger.
WEHRHAHN
And you found that?
ADELAIDE
I found it, your honour.
WEHRHAHN
Where did you find it?
ADELAIDE
That was when I was goin' to the train with mama. I was walkin' along this way and there ...
WEHRHAHN
Never mind about that now. [_To MRS. WOLFF._] Make your deposition some time soon. We can come back to this matter to-morrow.
MRS. WOLFF
Oh, _I'm_ willin' enough ...
