Go, my child, go, fall at his feet! He wants to leave us, to leave us for ever.
ARABELLA (falling on her knees before him).
Here I am already. You will leave us? You will leave us for ever? Have not we already been without you for a little "for ever." Shall we have to lose you again? You have said so often that you loved us. Does one leave the people whom one loves? I cannot love you then, I suppose, for I should wish never to leave you. Never, and I never will leave you either.
MARWOOD.
I will help you in your entreaties, my child! And you must help me too! Now, Mellefont, you see me too at your feet....
MELLEFONT (stopping her, as she throws herself at his feet).
Marwood, dangerous Marwood! And you, too, my dearest Bella (raising her up), you too are the enemy of your Mellefont?
ARABELLA.
I your enemy?
