Vav.I’m content
To sit and deck thee, silent though thou art.
And yet I would thou hadst the gift of speech
For one brief second—time enough to say,
“Vavir, I love thee with my whole, whole heart!”
Flor. (aloud). “Vavir, I love thee with my whole, whole heart!”
Vav. (recoiling, horrified). Who spake?
Flor.’Twas I—thy dial!
Vav. Oh, terrible!
What shall I do?
