Excerpt from The Dramatic Works
Lis. Well, it is true, our house has altered a great deal in a short time. Only a week ago it was a lively rendezvous for innumerable young gentlemen and lovesick fools. Every day some of them have dropped off. One day these stayed away, the next day those, and others the day after. God be thanked! two are still left. If they too should find their way off, our house will be deserted. Madame. ... Madame!
Wid. Well, what is the matter?
Lis. Then I too should certainly remain no longer with you, however well off I may be. Society is the half of life.
Wid. You would have been better fitted for an inn than for my service, then?
Lis. True. In an inn it is lively at any rate. If there was not so much work there, who knows what I might not have done! If one is unfortunate enough to be a servant at all, I think it is most sensible to have a place where one can have the greatest pleasure with one's work. But joking apart! What are Herr Damon and Herr Leander to you at present?
Wid. What are they?
Lis. This question seems strange to you? I know well enough what they were to you before - they were your suitors!
Wid. And so they are still.
