As one might expect.
The fever's gone; but strength has gone with it:
No one can tell how long his heart will stand
The strain.
BRANDER
You see no hope?
DOCTOR
I only see
That we are doing all we can for him.
Beyond that, I can say no more than you.
BRANDER
You think I should not see him?
DOCTOR
Oh, no harm.
You might have seen him when you came this morning
If you had waited. You can see him here.
He wanted to be in this room again,
And I make no objection. Well, good-bye.
[The doctor goes out. Brander moves restlessly
about the room. A moment later, the door on the
left opens, and Faust, reclining in an invalid's chair,
is wheeled into the room by the butler. He is clad in
a long dressing-gown; he is very pale. The butler,
after placing the chair before the fireplace, goes
out. Brander remains doubtfully in the background;
Faust does not observe his presence.
