Now, at once, in the dark. You must go look for it at once. I had rather have lost all I have than have lost that ring. You do not know what it is. You do not know whence it came. The sea will be very high to-night. The sea will come to take it before you…. Make haste. You must go look for it at once….
MÉLISANDE.
I dare not…. I dare not go alone….
GOLAUD.
Go, go with no matter whom. But you must go at once, do you understand?—Make haste; ask Pélléas to go with you.
MÉLISANDE.
Pélléas?—With Pélléas?—But Pélléas would not….
GOLAUD.
Pélléas will do all you ask of him. I know Pélléas better than you do.
Go, go; hurry! I shall not sleep until I have the ring.
