LILIOM
Tighter, still tighter—I’m going—— [Pauses.] Julie——
JULIE
Good-bye. [LILIOM sinks slowly back and dies. JULIE frees her hand. THE DOCTOR enters with the FIRST POLICEMAN.]
DOCTOR
Good evening. His wife?
JULIE
Yes, sir. [Behind the DOCTOR and POLICEMAN enter MARIE, WOLF, MOTHER HOLLUNDER, YOUNG HOLLUNDER and MRS. MUSKAT. They remain respectfully at the doorway. The DOCTOR bends over LILIOM and examines him.]
DOCTOR
A light, if you please. [JULIE fetches a burning candle from the dark room. The DOCTOR examines LILIOM briefly in the candle-light, then turns suddenly away.] Have you pen and ink?
