Hella. Very well. I am doing that very thing!
Paul (clenches his fists). Really now! You will not change your mind?
Hella. I will not change my mind. I shall not release you. Now do as you please!
Paul. You will not release me?
Hella. No!
Paul, (beside himself). You!... You!...
Antoinette. Be quiet, dear! No mortal can interfere with us.
Hella. How affectionate! You probably suppose that you have him already? That I shall simply go and your happiness is complete! Don't deceive yourself! You shall not enjoy happiness when I am compelled to battle.
Antoinette. Did I not battle?
Hella. Your little battle. Simply because you did not happen to get the man that you wanted! We have had battles of quite other dimensions!
