THE DEVIL (fixing his eyes on Agnus) You don’t believe in me?

AGNUS

Why—er—what are you doing? (In panic) Don’t look at me like that. (He starts up)

THE DEVIL

Sit down!

[Agnus struggles but sits down.

THE DEVIL

You called for me to help you. I’m going to. (He goes to the windows and pulls down the blinds)

AGNUS

Here! What! (He tries to rise but only sits starkly upright with staring eyes. A faint luminosity glows over his head)
