Pretwic.
Drahomir.--I do not understand you.
Doctor.--You will understand me. Now I cannot tell you anything more.
In a half hour pray grant me a moment of conversation. Then you will
understand me--that I guarantee you. Here is Anton. You see I cannot
explain now.
Drahomir.--I will see you again. (He goes out.)
SCENE II.
Anton. Jozwowicz.
Anton.--The fight is very hot. Have you the address?
Doctor.--Here it is. How goes it?
Anton.--Up to now everything is well, but I repeat--the fight is
very hot. If you had not come the last time, you would have lost the
battle, because Miliszewski has withdrawn and his partisans vote for
Husarski. Podczaski is good for nothing. Your speech in the city hall
was splendid. May thunder strike you! Your address was admired even by
your enemies. Oh, we will at last be able to do something. For three
days I have not slept--I have not eaten--I work and I have plenty of
time, because I have lost my position.
Doctor.--You have lost your position?
Anton.--On account of the agitation against Husarski.
Doctor.--Have you found any means against him?
Anton.--I have-written an article. I have brought it to you. Read it.
He sues me--he will beat me. They will put me in prison, but it will
be only after the election, and my article wronged him very much.
Doctor.--Very well.
Anton.--But when I am in prison you must take care of my wife and
children.
