KARL

Olga—can you ever——

OLGA

No, no; it is I who should ask forgiveness I was to blame. I lost control of myself. After what happened, I wanted to know—I wanted to make sure—but, you understand now, my letter has told you everything.

KARL

What letter?

OLGA, reproachfully

Karl, I understand. You want to spare me—you're being discreet; but you don't know me; I mean every word of that letter, I'm glad I wrote it——

KARL

But I didn't get any letter.
