Yes, sir, the bail first of all. But if it were only the bail! Just think! She doesn't want to go at all. (BEERMANN: She does not want to...?) No. I gave her another hearing this afternoon and told her that we don't care to bother with her any more. "Listen," I said to her, "you are lucky. Give bail of Five Thousand Marks, and you will be free in ten minutes. There is a ten o'clock train for Brussels tomorrow morning." (The bell in the hall rings.) What do you suppose she said? She laughed. She knows very well why we are so humane, but she will not give a bond of five marks, even if by luck she had it. She says that she has already prepared for a trial. I talked to her politely, then rudely. She will not budge. She laughs and laughs and that's all. (Knock at the door. Maid enters with a visiting card.) BEERMANN (to the maid). What does it all mean to-night, at this hour? This is not a hotel. (Takes the card and reads.) Freiherr Bodo von Schmettau, Herr auf Zirnberg?
