Gerardo [much relieved]. Will you promise me to go home quietly now?
Helen. Yes.
Gerardo. And will you promise me that you will not die....
Helen. Yes.
Gerardo. You promise me that?
Helen. Yes.
Gerardo. And you promise me to fulfill your duties as mother and—as wife?
Helen. Yes.
Gerardo. Helen!
Helen. Yes. What else do you want? I will promise anything.
