George.
And what shall become of us?
Marie.
George.
And where will you go?
Marie.
Ah, the world is large. I shall go far, far away, where no one will ever find me. No, no, not even you, George.
George.
And if you should go to ruin out there?
Marie.
Do not fear. I am the calamity child, the foundling. My hands are hard and callous--see, see! Just like my heart is, now. I will work and work, and toil, until I fall exhausted--then I will sleep and rest, until it is time for work again; and thus I will perhaps maintain a miserable existence.
George.
Marie.
George.
Marie.
Mrs. Brauer.
Hasn't the carriage arrived yet, children? And where is papa? It is time to go.
Marie.
He is coming now, I believe.
Brauer.
So there, I am ready to go! But, that is, you wanted to speak to me first?
George.
It is all settled now, thank you.
Brauer.
Then come, wife, my coat, quick!
Gertrude.
Did you ask him?
Marie.
Gertrude.
And what did he say?
Marie.
Gertrude.
Brauer.
Come, come, my child--time enough for that after the ceremony. Come!
END OF PLAY.
