Pierre.

You've taken it out of me, you beast!

Julia.

Beast?--You've been muttering that word now for a couple of days. This is the first time that you have flung it in my face.--What have I done that was bestial except to throw my young life at your feet?--And so this is the end of our rose-fête?----

Pierre (in a low voice, breathing with difficulty).

No, not yet--the end is still to come!

Julia.

I dare say.

Pierre.

In fact--you must--leave here.
