SECOND SCENE
Judge. These two women are not mated yet. Those who wish them for pairing come forward.
Adam. Upon this woman make I claim.
Judge. Scientist! What is thy opinion?
Scientist. The man sentimental, the woman nervous, an unhealthy issue would be the result. This pair fits not together.
Adam. Still I shall not let her go, if she wishes me.
Eve. Magnanimous man, I am thine.
Adam. I love thee, oh woman, with the whole fervor of my heart!
Eve. Also I, this I feel, will forever love thee.
Scientist. Why, this is madness. Strange, indeed, to see reappear the spirit of bygone ages in our enlightened world. How comes this?
