Braling and Braling Two (turn) in at the door to the apartment.
«Well, it’s the cellar box for you, B-Two.» Braling (guide) the other creature down the stairs.
«That’s what I want to talk to you about,» said Braling Two. «The cellar. I don’t like it.»
«I (try) and (fix) something more comfortable. Besides it only (be) a few days now. I (be) off to Rio and you (not have) to stay in the box. You can live upstairs.»
Braling Two (gesture) irritably.
«And when you (come) back from having a good time, I (go) back in the box.»
Braling said, «They (not tell) me at the marionette shop that I (get) a diffi cult specimen.»
«There’s a lot they don’t know about us,» said Braling Two. «We are sensitive. I hate the idea of your going off to Rio while we are stuck here in the cold.»
«But I (want) that trip all my life,» said Braling quietly.
«And another thing. Your wife.»
«What about her?» asked Braling beginning to edge toward the door.
«I (grow) quite fond of her.»
«I’m glad you (enjoy) your employment.» Braling (lick) his lips nervously.
«I’m afraid you don’t understand. I think — I’m in love with your wife.»
«You are in what?» Braling (freeze).
«And I (think),» said Braling Two, «how nice it is in Rio and how I never (get) there, and I (think) about your wife — I think we could be very happy.»
«That’s nice.» Braling (try) to rush out the door, but a metal-firm grip (seize) his wrists.
Braling Two said, «I (go) to put you in the box, lock it and lose the key. Then I (buy) another Rio ticket for your wife. Good-buy, Braling.»
Ten minutes later Mrs Braling (awake). She (put) her hand to her cheek. Someone just (kiss) it. She (shiver) and (look up).
«Why — you (not do) that in years,» she (murmur).
«We’ll see what we can do about it,» someone said.
