Marie.
But I would not reach the city in time.
Brauer.
Very well, you needn't go to bed, then. George can take you to the
depot.
Marie.
[_Startled_.] George?
George.
[_Startled and simultaneously_.] What--I?
Brauer.
Certainly! Why not?
Pastor.
Pray do not think me obtrusive; but I am at your service.
Brauer.
No, no, thank you. Pastor; your time will come some other day.
[_Aside_.] It will at least give him something to do. [_Meaning_
George.]
Gertrude.
