ALICE. [Goes over to the door on the left and opens it] What is this? Her trunk is in the hallway—packed.

Begins to cry, falls on her knees, and puts her head on a chair, sobbing.
CAPTAIN. And everything at once! And then Curt had to turn up just in time to get a look into this mess of ours! If there be any further humiliation in store, let it come this moment!
ALICE. Do you know what I suspect? Curt went away and will not come back.
CAPTAIN. I believe it of him.
ALICE. Yes, we are cursed——
CAPTAIN. What are you talking of?
