A work bench, with a Lapidary's wheel, L. - a few old fashioned chairs, a lamp of brass hung by a chain, R., - an old fashioned stove, R. - near it, shelves with jars, and other common kitchen utensils-near the stove an arm chair and a cradle beside it - a practicable staircase leading to upper rooms, near the stove - a door, L., communicating with an inner room. Enter Jonadab, D. in F., a sealed packet in his hand. Jonadab. Reuben not at his wheel! There was a time, nine o'clock would have been sure to find him cutting diamonds, but now the diamonds have cut him, poor fellow. Here's the money for that buckle of brilliants I sold for him. (taking out purse) I wonder how he came by it? He said he was selling it for a friend - but we all know what that means! And here's a packet from the post office, for "The Citizen Bon Enfant" - (reading direction) "Care of Reuben Goldsched, in the Jews quarter, Frankfort." I wonder what's inside? (weighing it in his hand) But I can't stay here all the morning, and our French brethren just about to enter the town - I shall lose the show - here, Reuben! Reuben Goldsched!
