Must the workmen be paid or not, I ask you? But, good gracious! What is the use of talking to you! (Waves his hand) Do you think because you own an estate you can command the whole world? With your two thousand acres and your empty pockets you are like a man who has a cellar full of wine and no corkscrew. I have sold the oats as they stand in the field. Yes, sir! And to-morrow I shall sell the rye and the carriage horses. (He stamps up and down) Do you think I am going to stand upon ceremony with you? Certainly not! I am not that kind of a man! ANNA appears at the open window.
