D. What is this? MIN. Where is he? Where is he? LAND. An hour ago he was here. MIN. Detested man! how could you act so rudely, so hardly, so cruelly towards him? LAND. Your ladyship must pardon!!!!! MIN. Quick! Bring him to me. LAND. His servant is perhaps still here. Does your ladyship wish that he should look for him? MIN. Do I wish it? Begone, run. For this service alone I will forget how badly you have behaved to him. FRAN. Now then, quick, Mr. Landlord! Be off! fly! fly! (Pushes him out.) SCENE III. Minna, Franziska MIN. Now I have found him again, Franziska! Do you hear? Now I have found him again! I scarcely know where I am for joy! Rejoice with me, Franziska. But why should you?

Which one of them was it? MIN. Bring him here directly. When he sees us he will go fast enough. (Exit Landlord.) SCENE V. Minna, Franziska MIN. I cannot bear this delay. But, Franziska, how cold you are still! Why will you not share my joy with me? FRAN. I would from my heart, if only!!!!! MIN. If only what? FRAN. We have found him again. But how have we found him?
