I'm very sorry— HEILMANN. LUDMILLA. Or the Sucking Lamb, or the Smoking Dog? They're all right near here. We'll be all by ourselves there, and before dawn we'll have a little article ready. LUDMILLA. HEILMANN. Don't you sleep? HEILMANN. LUDMILLA. Oh, of course; but not at night. (Exeunt Heilmann and Ludmilla.) LUDMILLA. ALVA. (Who has been trying to resuscitate Magelone.) Ice-cold hands! Ah, what a splendid woman! We must undo her waist. Come, Kadidia, undo your mother's waist! She's so fearfully tight-laced. ALVA. KADIDIA. (Without stirring.) I'm afraid. (Lulu enters lower left in a jockey-cap, red jacket, white leather breeches and riding boots, a riding cape over her shoulders.) KADIDIA. LULU. Have you any cash, Alva? LULU. ALVA. (Looking up.) Have you gone crazy?
