AUDR. Do it, because I ask it. You will?
MICH. And you’ll leave me, leave this place, because I ask it. You will?
AUDR. I love you. I obey you.
(She comes to him.)
MICH. No, I daren’t come near to you. You’ll go?
(He opens the door; she passes out; re-enters.)
AUDR. Listen to this. Whatever happens, I shall never belong to anybody but you. You understand? (MICHAEL bows his head.) I shall never belong to anybody but you, Mike.
(She goes out again. He closes door, goes up to window. She passes. He watches her off, stays there some moments.)
