CECILIA
Oh, the simplest thing in the world! I asked her for it, and she gave it to me. It was lying in an open drawer in her writing desk—with others. I think you can call yourself lucky.
AMADEUS
Cecilia! (He tears the letter to pieces and throws these into the fireplace)
CECILIA
Well, you would never have made up your mind to demand it of her, and that would have kept me in a state of irritation. I can't have anything like that on my mind when I want to work.—And now that's settled. (She turns away) Then I went to the opera, too. I have had a talk with the Director. He's going to indorse my request to be set free.
AMADEUS
Your request to be set free...?
CECILIA
