Good-bye.
DAVID [Frozen, taking it, holding it]
Ah, you are offended by my ingratitude—I shall never see you again.
VERA
No, I am not offended. But I have failed to help you. We have nothing else to meet for.
[She disengages her hand.]
DAVID
Why will you punish me so? I have only hurt myself.
VERA
It is not a punishment.
