Every one! Has she not just driven away a customer because she would not---- (ESTHER: I don't want to hear about it!) H'm! A little money--it is nothing! I have given my life for it--and my eyes--my eyes! By God's right, do not the blessings of thrift belong to me? And here I drag my gloomy, empty life away, with a son who brings me nothing, a sister who watches me like a vulture and this hussy who drives my customers to curse me!
