And when that stone is brought to life—be dumb!

It’s a strange world—I can not fathom it!

Pyg. (aside). Let me be brave, and put an end to this.

(aloud). Come, Galatea—till my wife returns,

My sister shall provide thee with a home;

Her house is close at hand.

Gal. (astonished and alarmed).Send me not hence,

Pygmalion—let me stay;

Pyg.It may not be.

Come, Galatea, we shall meet again.
