Go an' put the box away an' then open the door. _JUSTICE VON WEHRHAHN enters, wearing a thick overcoat, tall boots and a fur cap._ WEHRHAHN Evening, Fielitz! How about those boots? FIELITZ They's all right, your honour. MRS. FIELITZ You better go an' get a little light so's Mr. von Wehrhahn can see somethin'. WEHRHAHN Well, how is everything and what are you doing, Mrs. Wolff? MRS. FIELITZ I ain't no Mrs. Wolff no more. WEHRHAHN She's grown very proud, eh, Fielitz? She carries her head very high? She feels quite set up? MRS. FIELITZ Hear that! Marryin's gone to my head? I could ha' lived much better as a widder. FIELITZ [_Who has drawn the lasts out of WEHRHAHN'S boots._] Then you might ha' gone an' stayed a widder. MRS. FIELITZ If I'd ha' known what kind of a feller you are, I wouldn't ha' been in no hurry. I could ha' gotten an old bandy-legged crittur like you any day o' the week. WEHRHAHN Gently, gently! FIELITZ Never you mind her. [_With almost creeping servility._] If you'll be so very kind, your honour, an' have the goodness to pull off your right boot. If you'll let me; I c'n do that. So. An' if you'll be so good now an' put your foot on this here box. MRS. FIELITZ [_Holding the burning lamp._] An' how is the Missis, Baron? WEHRHAHN Thank you, she's quite well. But she's still lamenting her Mrs. Wolff ... MRS. FIELITZ Well, you see, I couldn't do that no more reely. I washed thirty years an' over for you. You c'n get enough o' anything in that time, I tell you. I c'n show you my legs some day. The veins is standin' out on 'em, thick as your fist. That comes from the everlastin' standin' up at the tub! An' I got frost boils all over me and the rheumatiz in every limb. They ain't no end to the doctorin' I gotta do! I just gotta wrap myself up in cotton, an' anyhow I'm cold all day. WEHRHAHN Certainly, Mrs. Wolff, I can well believe that. MRS. FIELITZ There was a time an' I'd work against anybody. I had a constitootion! You couldn't ha' found one in ten like it. But nowadays ... O Lord! Things is lookin' different. FIELITZ You c'n holler a little louder if you want to. WEHRHAHN I can't blame you, of course, Mrs. Fielitz. Any one who has worked as you have may well consider herself entitled to some rest. MRS. FIELITZ An' then, you see, things keep goin'. We got our livin' right along. [_She give FIELITZ a friendly nudge on the head._] An' he does his part all right now. We ain't neither of us lazy, so to speak. If only a body could keep reel well! But Saturday I gotta go to the doctor again. He goes and electrilises me with his electrilising machine, you know. I ain't sayin' but what it helps me. But first of all there's the expenses of the trip in to Berlin an' then every time he electrilises me that costs five shillin's. Sometimes, you know, a person, don't know where to get the money. FIELITZ You go ahead an' ram your money down doctors' throats! WEHRHAHN
