"Where are you, my boy, where are you?"
"Aren't you coming? Must I lose you after all this?—Oh, come!"
"But tell me where you are!"
"In a few hours I should have been with you—a few hours after many years."
"Oh, boy, for pity, tell me where to find you!"
"You are there waiting for me, aren't you, child? I know you are—I've always known you were. What would you have said to me when you opened the door in your blue gown?—"
"Oh, but say only where you are, my boy!"
"Do you know what I should have said? I shouldn't have said anything. I should have kissed you—"
"Oh, let me come to you and you shall kiss me...."
But she listened in vain.
