AUDR. Don’t trouble about me. I have been thinking of you. Your character?
MICH. My character! My character! My character!
AUDR. (glances up at the place where the portrait had hung). Where is she?
(He points to the picture on the floor.)
MICH. I daren’t look at her. I must hide it until——
AUDR. Until?
MICH. Until we have done what we can to atone for this.
AUDR. What?
MICH. Repent, confess, submit to any penance that be enjoined us. And then if and when it shall be permitted us—marriage.
AUDR. Marriage?
