Oh, Pierrot, I just came back for the littlest look. I couldn’t help it. I’ll go now.
PIERROT
But Pierrette, look! (He dances about) It’s all come back again! I’ve got a new song singing in me, Pierrette! It’s the best song yet. It’ll make me famous!
The editors will flock to me,
Exactly as you said—
A-bringing gold and velvets
And a-swelling of my head!
(He tries to take her cloak off.)
PIERROT (coaxingly)
Pierrette, please stay!
