Chapter 192

TERZKY, NEUMANN.

TERZKY (beckons to NEUMANN, who is waiting at the side-table and steps forward with him to the edge of the stage). Have you the copy with you, Neumann? Give it. It may be changed for the other?

NEUMANN. I have copied it Letter by letter, line by line; no eye Would e'er discover other difference, Save only the omission of that clause, According to your excellency's order.

TERZKY. Right I lay it yonder and away with this-- It has performed its business--to the fire with it.

[NEUMANN lays the copy on the table, and steps back again to the side-table.
