LULU. You're a coward!
SCHWARZ. (Shuts Goll's eyes with his handkerchief.) It's the first time in my life that anyone has called me that.
LULU. Didn't you do it to your mother?
SCHWARZ. (Nervously.) No.
LULU. You were away, perhaps.
SCHWARZ. No!
LULU. Or else you were afraid?
SCHWARZ. (Violently.) No!
LULU. (Shivering, backward.) I didn't mean to insult you.
SCHWARZ. She's still alive.
