Why, what has happened, Mélisande? What is it?… And I suspecting nothing…. What has happened?… Some one has done thee harm?… Some one has given thee offence?
MÉLISANDE.
No, no; no one has done me the least harm…. It is not that…. It is not that…. But I can live here no longer. I do not know why…. I would go away, go away!… I shall die if I am left here….
GOLAUD.
But something has happened? You must be hiding something from me?… Tell me the whole truth, Mélisande…. Is it the King?… Is it my mother?… Is it Pélléas?…
MÉLISANDE.
No, no; it is not Pélléas. It is not anybody…. You could not understand me….
GOLAUD.
Why should I not understand?… If you tell me nothing, what will you have me do?… Tell me everything and I shall understand everything.
