ARKËL.

No, no; it seems to me we keep too silent, in spite of ourselves, in her room…. It is not a good sign…. Look how she sleeps … slowly, slowly;… it is as if her soul was cold forever….

GOLAUD.

I have killed her without cause! I have killed her without cause!… Is it not enough to make the stones weep?… They had kissed like little children…. They had simply kissed…. They were brother and sister…. And I, and I at once!… I did it in spite of myself, look you…. I did it in spite of myself….

THE PHYSICIAN.

Stop; I think she is waking….

MÉLISANDE.

Open the window;… open the window….

ARKËL

Shall I open this one, Mélisande?
