You talk of choice! Choice, Ellida! Choice in this matter!
Ellida.
Yes, choose I must—freely choose either course. I must be free to let him go away alone—or—to go with him.
Wangel.
Do you understand what you are saying? Go with him! Place your whole fate in his hands!
Ellida.
Did I not place my whole fate in your hands? And that—without thinking twice.
Wangel.
That may be. But he! He! A total stranger! A man you know so little about!
Ellida.
