Do you think a sea voyage will be better for you?

Professor Rubek.

It is always a change.

Maia.

Well well, if only it is the right thing for you——

Professor Rubek.

For me? The right thing? There is nothing in the world the matter with me.

Maia.

[Rises and goes up to him.] Yes, there is, Rubek. I am sure you must feel it yourself.
