Whose sorrow came of her great love for him!

Tell me—art thou the Florian that I loved?

Flor. If not that stainless Florian—yet one

Who would be such as he. (Taking her by both hands.)

I have thy love—

I who have lived a loveless life till now.

Well, then, I yield thee up! (Releasing her.) If words of mine

Can save thy sister, I will speak those words!

Hil. I knew it! Florian, I was sure of thee!

God bless thee, Florian; thou hast saved her life!
