LUCIE. You hurt me! Let me go.
BRIGNAC. Be kind now. How well you look when your temper’s up! Pretty pet. Mustn’t be naughty. Come.
LUCIE. I won’t.
BRIGNAC. Then I’ll make you! [They struggle, with low cries, panting].
LUCIE [at the end of her strength] I can’t! I can’t!
He puts her on a chair; then goes to open the door of the bedroom and turns on the electric light. The bed is seen, a vision of white sheets. Brignac comes to his wife.
LUCIE [mad with terror] The cave man! The cave man!
He seizes her. She gives a cry and faints. He carries her towards the bedroom.
