FREDERIQUE
Oh, of course ... but then ... what you have been saying to me will be only a small part of what you must tell your wife to-day, Amadeus. Good-by.... (She holds out her hand to him)
AMADEUS
What's in your mind now, Frederique?
FREDERIQUE
Why resist your fate? Is it so very repulsive after all? What you are to me, nobody else has ever been!
AMADEUS
And you want me to believe that?
FREDERIQUE
I shall not insist on it. But it is true nevertheless. Good-by now. Until to-morrow, Amadeus. Life is really much easier than you think.... It might be so very pleasant—and so it shall be! (She goes out)
