George.

Have you arranged it so?

Marie.

You wished to speak to me, so I have arranged it!

George.

Marie, I wished to tell you. One hour more I am a free man--and my mind is made up. It is yet time to change our fates. What will you answer me?

Marie.

Answer you? Why, I don't know what you want.

George.

You know it well enough. I want you! Do you hear me? You, who belong to me for life--I want you!
