Major.
Yes, very true, girl, no one has noticed anything.
_THIRD SCENE_.
THE SAME. WILHELM. _Afterward_ STEPHAN, _the overseer_.
Wilhelm (_entering from the right_).
Herr Stephan is there, Major.
Major.
Come in!
(_Enter_ Stephan.)
Very well, my dear Stephen, I must drive into town directly after
dark. Unless I should be detained, I shall be here early to-morrow
morning--four and a half and four and a half more miles--nine miles....
The coach horses have been exercised to-day?
Stephan.
Yes, indeed, Major.
Major.
Which are in better condition now, the browns or the whites?
Stephan.
That I don't permit myself to decide, Major. They have all had it
severely!
Major.
Well, I will just go and have a look myself. Wilhelm--cap!
Wilhelm.
