Antoinette. Paul, I don't want to see him again! I don't want to see another soul!
Paul (looks at her with glowing eyes). How beautiful you are now, Toinette!
Antoinette. Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful. For you, my Paul, for you!
Paul. For me. (He puts his arms around her.)
Antoinette (proudly). I am still beautiful and young and yet I shall cast it away. I am not afraid.
Paul (his arms about her). We are not afraid!
Antoinette. Out into night and death together with you!
Paul. It is not worth living! We have realized that!
Antoinette (looks up at him, smiling). Haven't we, Paul, we two lost creatures? (In each other's embrace, they are silent for a moment.)
Antoinette (roguishly). Do you remember, dear, what you used to do when you were a little boy?
