LULU. Will you come to see me again? (Hunidei stops her mouth. She looks upward in a sort of despair and shakes her head. Hunidei, putting his coat on, approaches her grinning; she throws her arms around his neck; he gently frees himself, kisses her hand, and turns to the door. She starts to accompany him, but he signs to her to stay behind and noiselessly leaves the room. Schigolch and Alva re-enter.)
LULU. (Tonelessly.) How he has stirred me up!
ALVA. How much did he give you?
LULU. (As before.) Here it is! All! Take it! I'm going down again.
SCHIGOLCH. We can still live like princes up here.
ALVA. He's coming back.
SCHIGOLCH. Then let's just retire again, quick.
ALVA. He's after his prayer-book. Here it is. It must have fallen out of his coat.
LULU. (Listening.) No, that isn't he. That's some one else.
ALVA. Some one's coming up. I hear it quite plainly.
