I was never sung to sleep by a sweeter lullaby, Mother. When I was almost asleep I kept saying: snort if you want, puff if you like, you old horse! Keep at it, but work as you will while I am lying here in bed, you can't do anything for the glory of the house of Muhlingk. Here is a lever that must be reckoned with! Wasn't that a proud thought?--And then my heart warmed for our benefactor. (Heinecke: Huh!) What, Father? (Heinecke: Aw, nuthin'!) And I have sworn that I won't slacken in his service until I've drawn my last breath!
