He is yours again--he will love _you_ again; I give him back to you again. Look up! One word, or do but smile! Sweet, do you hear me? [_Puts her hand on_ EVA'S _heart_. There, there--the heart, O God!--the poor young heart Broken at last--all still--and nothing left To live for. [_Falls on body of her sister_. HAROLD. Living ... dead ... She said 'all still. Nothing to live for.' She--she knows me--now ... (_A pause_.) She knew me from the first, she juggled with me, She hid this sister, told me she was dead-- I have wasted pity on her--not dead now-- No! acting, playing on me, both of them. _They_ drag the river for her! no, not they! Playing on me--not dead now--a swoon--a scene-- Yet--how she made her wail as for the dead! _Enter_ MILLY. MILLY. Pleäse, Mister 'Arold. HAROLD (_roughly_). Well? MlLLY.

HAROLD. All silent there, Yes, deathlike! Dead? I dare not look: if dead, Were it best to steal away, to spare myself, And her too, pain, pain, pain? My curse on all This world of mud, on all its idiot gleams Of pleasure, all the foul fatalities That blast our natural passions into pains! _Enter_ DOBSON. DOBSON.
