Glyszinski (halts a bit). That the dead man is out of the house!... I suppose they took him to the church?
Hella. Yes, quite early this morning. The coffin is to be there till tomorrow. I suppose you were afraid?
Glyszinski, Why you know that I sometimes see things.
Hella. You modern creature, you! Look at me! I try to see things by daylight. I can battle with them! Not with the other kind.
Glyszinski. Oh you don't realize how I have envied you for that.
Hella. Why don't you follow my example then? Do not lose yourself deeper and deeper in your riddles. Enter the conflict! Just as I do!
Glyszinski. You, Hella ...! I cannot vie with you.
Hella. Don't be a weakling! Try it! You are old enough.
Glyszinski (grumbling). Too old.
Hella (more and more impassioned). Too old! Ridiculous. When Paul was of your age he was already in the fray, founding our Women's Rights. And I, I helped him.
