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.
