HALMSCHLAEGER
He is a friend of yours?
RADEMACHER
He was—some years ago.
HALMSCHLAEGER
Then write him to come tomorrow-afternoon.
RADEMACHER
What good will that do me? I may not be here tomorrow--I must
see him today, at once.
HALMSCHLAEGER
(Firmly) That is impossible Mr. Rademacher, quite impossible.
But that you may be a little calmer, I myself will write to
Mr. Weihgast, whom I happen to know personally, and ask him
to come and see you tomorrow at any hour that suite him.
RADEMACHER
You know Weihgast, doctor? (Suddenly) bring him here to me.
bring him here to me.
HALMSCHLAEGER
Oh come now, Rademacher, this is just a little--
RADEMACHER
(In great excitement) I know doctor--I know it is asking a great
deal--but you're human doctor, you understand things. You're
not like the others who judge only by rote and rule and when
you know doctor— when you know that here is a man who is dying,
and who has just one wish more, one wish on which so much de-
pends for him, and you know you can grant him that wish—dootor
please go and feh him, bring him here to me.
