amy o'connell. Want me to . . ?

trebell. Want you to . . kiss me just once.

amy o'connell. [Yielding.] If I do . . don't let me go mad, will you?

trebell. Perhaps. [He bends over her, her head drops back.] Now.

amy o'connell. Yes!

She kisses him on the mouth. Then he would release her, but suddenly she clings again.

Oh . . don't let me go.

trebell. [With fierce pride of possession.] Not yet.

She is fragile beside him. He lifts her in his arms and carries her out into the darkness.
