CLARA.
Let him stay away!
MOTHER.
I hope you are not seeing him anywhere else, except here at the house!
CLARA.
Is it because I stay out too long when I go to the well in the evening that you have reason to suspect that?
MOTHER.
No, not that. But it was just for that reason that I gave him permission to come here to the house, so that he wouldn't lie in wait for you out there in the dark. My mother would never allow that, either!
CLARA.
I don't see him at all!
