THE THREE OTHERS

(In succession.) No more do I.... No more do I.... No more do I....

JALLINE

(Rushing forward, catching hold of one of the CHILDREN and kissing him.) But that's impossible!... Here, look at me?... Don't you see how much I'll love you?...

THE CHILD

Yes, but you're not the one.

ROSELLE

(Taking another CHILD on her knees.) And me? Won't you have me for your mamma?

THE CHILD

No, no, it's not you.
