Alquist. The last. Why?
Helena. That’s the name of my new ship. Have you seen it? Do you think we’re off soon—on a trip?
Alquist. Perhaps very soon.
Helena. All of you with me?
Alquist. I should like us all to be there.
Helena. What is the matter?
Alquist. Things are just moving on.
Helena. Dear Mr. Alquist, I know something dreadful has happened.
Alquist. Has your husband told you anything?
Helena. No. Nobody will tell me anything. But I feel—Is anything the matter?
