THE DEVIL

Are you sorry for all that swearing and temper you’ve shown since you’ve been a light?

[The light wags slowly. At that moment the hall door opens and Magnus reënters.

THE DEVIL

MAGNUS (very angry at having been kept waiting)

Good day to you, sir—

THE DEVIL (holding his arm)

Magnus—(Fixes him with his eyes)

[Magnus’s eyes flutter as before. He struggles, but gradually yields to The Devil’s power.
