MAX.

Yes, yes, he might.

MARIE.

He can do everything. He stirs your very heart--as if-- And then he seems like a kind of relation. He should have been my brother-in-law.

MAX.

Yes, but she wouldn't have it so.

MARIE.

Don't speak angrily, Max. She must have made atonement. [A ring.] Oh, perhaps this is he.
