man and the arms

Old man: Welcome home, my little coward, ungrateful, runway boy, welcome home.
Blueschli:(utterly surprised, in chocking sound.)
Father! I can’t believe… you alive!
Old man: Oh yes, not only alive but healthier than ever before [showing the bicep]
Blueschli: But I thought you are dead. A letter conveyed me with a list of huge property- 200 horses, 70 carriages, 4000 table cloths…
Old man: [with a smile of success] take it easy boy, take it easy. A list full of vanity works very fine – it is always effective. And look, it chases you from Bulgaria to Switzerland.
Blueschli: [a little disturbed and in a disappointed voice] Oh, the old tricks. First it was heart attack and now it is the death news- and Iam trapped.
