Drahomir.—Ah, it is you, George.
George.—Do not approach me. I have seen all. You are a villain and a coward.
Drahomir—George!
George.—In order not to soil my hand, I throw in your face our broken friendship, my trampled happiness, lost faith in God and man, endless contempt for you and myself.
Drahomir.—Enough.
George.—Do not approach me, because I will lose my self-command and will sprinkle these walls with your brains. No, I shall not do that—because I have promised. But I slap your face, you villain. Do you hear me?
Drahomir (after struggling with himself for a moment).—Such an insult
I swear before God and man I will wash out with blood.
George.—Yes, with blood (pointing to the doctor). Here is the witness of these words.
Doctor.—At your service, gentlemen.
