Of course, if I'm not rescued. But to get into the first court I must have the turnkey in my power, and for that I need money. Not that I mean to bribe him; that wouldn't go. I must lend him money to send his three children to the country, and then at four o'clock in the morning when the prisoners of respected families are discharged, I'll slip in the door. He'll lock-up behind me and ask me what I'm after, and I'll ask him to let me out again in the evening. And before it gets light, I'm up in the attic. (ALVA: How did you escape from the reform-school?) Jumped out the window. I need two hundred marks for the rascal to send his family to the country. (RODRIGO: Will the Herr Baron have coffee in the music-room or on the veranda?) Where does that man come from? Out of the same door! He jumped out of the same door!
