From Love and Intrigue: A Tragedy by Friedrich Schiller

male · defiant · 52 sec

Let not that thought distress you, friend. I am about to quit this country, and in that to which I am journeying such coin is not current. MILLER (still fixing his eyes in transport on the money). Mine, then, it remains? Mine? Yet it grieves me that you are going to leave us. Only just wait a little and you shall see how I'll come out! I'll hold up my head with the best of them. (Puts on his hat with an air, and struts up and down the room.) I'll give my lessons in the great concert-room, and won't I smoke away at the best puyke varinas--and, when you catch me again fiddling at the penny-hop, may the devil take me!
