Second Girl. Slave! I would have the chain with the red stone! [As Life submissively approaches, she snatches it from his neck.] And this!

[Snatching at his hand and pulling the ring from a finger. The slave bows. She happens to look toward the spot where the bodies were, and shivers.]

Life [raising his head in time to see the look of horror. From this moment his aspect gradually changes until from the slave he becomes a tyrant]. Are you afraid of me?

Second Girl. No.

Life. There are many who are afraid of me.

Second Girl. You are a slave.

Life. There are many who are afraid.

Second Girl. You are only a slave.

Life. A slave may become a master.

Second Girl. No.
