While there’s a rope to run into a noose

Or wave to drown. But I have done with words,

And I would have you look into my face

And know that it is fearless.

Forgael. Do what you will,

For neither I nor you can break a mesh

Of the great golden net that is about us.

Dectora. There’s nothing in the world that’s worth a fear.

[She passes FORGAEL and stands for a moment looking into his face.]

I have good reason for that thought.
