Scene II Terzky, Neumann
TERZKY (beckons to NEUMANN, who is waiting at the side-table and steps forward with him to the edge of the stage). Have you the copy with you, Neumann? Give it. It may be changed for the other?
NEUMANN.
I have copied it
Letter by letter, line by line; no eye
Would e’er discover other difference,
Save only the omission of that clause,
According to your excellency’s order.
TERZKY.
Right I lay it yonder and away with this—
It has performed its business—to the fire with it.
[NEUMANN lays the copy on the table, and steps back again to the side-table.
