LILIOM
[Alone.]
“Look out here comes the damn police,
The damn police,
The damn police——”
[JULIE, troubled and uneasy, looks from one to the other, then exits into the kitchen.]
FICSUR
[When she has gone, comes quickly over to LILIOM and speaks furtively.] As you go down Franzen Street you come to the railroad embankment. Beyond that—all the way to the leather factory—there’s not a thing in sight, not even a watchman’s hut.
LILIOM
And does he always come that way?
FICSUR
Yes. Not along the embankment, but down below along the path across the fields. Since last year he’s been going alone. Before that he always used to have someone with him.
