ALLAN. I want to go!
ALICE. Go then! But come back here, young madcap, and I'll have the right to laugh at you.
[ALLAN runs after the LIEUTENANT.
[ALICE writes again.
CURT. [Enters] Alice, I have received an anonymous letter that is bothering me.
ALICE. Have you noticed that Edgar has become another person since he put off the uniform? I could never have believed that a coat might make such a difference.
CURT. You didn't answer my question.
ALICE. It was no question. It was a piece of information. What do you fear?
CURT. Everything!
ALICE. He went to the city. And his trips to the city are always followed by something dreadful.
CURT. But I can do nothing because I don't know from which quarter the attack will begin.
