Yes,—that’s very well, but when it comes to saying “good night” … where do I sleep?
Actress
There are surely a lot of other rooms in this house.
Poet
But they don’t appeal to me. Don’t you think I had better light a candle now?
Actress
Yes.
Poet
(Lights a candle, which stands upon the dressing-table) What a charming room … and what pious people they must be. Pictures of saints everywhere… It would be interesting to spend some time among people like this … quite another world. How little we know of the lives of others!
