BERTHA [Taking his hands]. What do you mean?
AXEL. I have been untrue to you.
BERTHA [Falls in a heap]. Oh!
AXEL. It was the only way to tear myself loose.
BERTHA [Collecting herself]. Who was she?
AXEL. A woman—[Pause.]
BERTHA. How did she look?
AXEL. Like a woman! With long hair and high breasts, et cetera.—Spare yourself.
BERTHA. Do you think I am jealous of one of that kind?
AXEL. One of that kind, two of that kind, many of that kind!
