they are soon going into the country, the freshair may revive
her. Dr. Schmidt has been at work using his influence to
prejudice the parents, and prove to them how the, suffer
socially through Toni’s presence. They would fulfil their
duty if they gave her moner to live elsewhere. The parents
cannot summon up courage to propose this to Toni and the
doctor undertakes the unpleasant duty. The Aunt Emma,
disgusted at their cruelty, determines to offer Toni a
home, but Agnes hearing this refuses to remain with her
mother under these conditions. Dr. Schmidt tells Toni
the decision arrived ar; at first she cannot grasp his
meaning, but when she does, resolves to leave at once.
She goes to her room where she writes a note: “ Do not
search for me, it is too late.? This message is found by
Franziska, ignorant of the action taken by her parents.
When she learns the truth she reproaches and spurns Dr.
Schmidt. The father is indignant at Toni’s behaviour; he
had offered her a competency, this surely was enough! Now,
he says, he must suffer the ignominy of going to the police
and requesting them to search for his son’s mistress! Mother
and daughter are left alone, bitterlv reprosching themselves
for their unkindness to Toni:“ We only tolerated her pre¬
sence, when we should have been good to her.?
