Life. You must call me master.

Second Girl. No. That I will not do.

Life [leering at her]. Call me master. Then I shall be kind to you.

Second Girl. No. I can not.

Life [picks up his whip from the path, toying with the whip but laughing at her]. Then I shall be kind.

Second Girl. Master—

Life. It has a good sound.

Second Girl. You will give me—

Life. Greedy one! Be grateful that I do not punish you.

Second Girl. You would not strike me?
