"Let him go!" One knows what to do without you, you fool. "Let him go!" Go he may, but he must hear a word or two so that he should feel. (To Tramp) Well then, listen, you sir, to what I have to say to you. Though you are in a very low state, still you have done very wrong--very wrong. Another man would have caved your ribs in, and have taken you to the police; but I will only say this. You've done wrong, as wrong as may be; only you are in a very bad way and I don't want to hurt you. (Pauses. Everyone is silent. Then he continues solemnly) Go, and God be with you, and do not do it again. (Looks at his wife) And you want to teach me!
