Distresses you! Let me embrace you for that, my dear playmate! I shall never forget this of you. I am only in love, you are good.
SCENE VI
Landlord, Just, Minna, Franziska
LAND.
With great difficulty I have brought him.
FRAN.
A strange face! I do not know him.
MIN.
Friend, do you live with Major von Tellheim?
JUST.
Yes.
MIN.
Where is your master?
JUST.
Not here.
MIN.
But you could find him?
JUST.
Yes.
MIN.
Will you fetch him quickly?
JUST.
No.
MIN.
You will be doing me a favour.
JUST.
Indeed!
MIN.
And your master a service.
JUST.
Perhaps not.
MIN.
Why do you suppose that?
JUST.
You are the strange lady who sent your compliments to him this morning, I think?
MIN.
Yes.
JUST.
Then I am right.
MIN.
Does your master know my name?
JUST.
No; but he likes over-civil ladies as little as over-uncivil landlords.
LAND.
That is meant for me, I suppose?
JUST.
Yes.
LAND.
Well, do not let the lady suffer for it then; but bring him here directly.
MIN. (to Franziska).
