THE ROBBERS.

Grimm.

(Shaking him by the shoulder.) Hallo! fellow, are you in a dream?

Spiegelberg.

(Who all this time had been making gestures on his seat, like a man who is conceiving some great project, starts up with a wild aspect, and seizes Switzer by the throat.) Your purse, or your life!

(Switzer, with great coolness, drives him against the wall.—All laugh. Moor lets fall the letter, and is going out in distraction.—The rest keep silence for a while, and look at each other.)

Roller.

(Stopping him.) Moor, Where are you going?—What's the matter, Moor?

Grimm.

What can be the matter?—He's as pale as a corpse.——

Moor.

Lost! lost for ever! (Rushes out.)

Grimm.

He must have got strange news.—Let's see what it can be!
