I could easily pull it out. The water is not very deep. MÉLISANDE. I will have no more of it! If you take it out, I throw myself in its place!... GOLAUD. No, no; I will leave it there. It could be reached without difficulty, nevertheless. It seems very beautiful.--Is it long since you fled? MÉLISANDE. Yes, yes!... Who are you? GOLAUD. I am Prince Golaud,--grandson of Arkël, the old King of Allemonde.... MÉLISANDE. Oh, you have gray hairs already.... GOLAUD. Yes; some, here, by the temples.... MÉLISANDE And in your beard, too.... Why do you look at me so? GOLAUD. I am looking at your eyes.--Do you never shut your eyes? MÉLISANDE. Oh, yes; I shut them at night.... GOLAUD. Why do you look so astonished? MÉLISANDE. You are a giant? GOLAUD. I am a man like the rest.... MÉLISANDE. Why have you come here? GOLAUD. I do not know, myself. I was hunting in the forest, I was chasing a wild boar. I mistook the road.--You look very young. How old are you? MÉLISANDE. I am beginning to be cold.... GOLAUD. Will you come with me! MÉLISANDE. No, no; I will stay here.... GOLAUD. You cannot stay here all alone. You cannot stay here all night long.... What is your name? MÉLISANDE. Mélisande. GOLAUD. You cannot stay here, Mélisande. Come with me.... MÉLISANDE. I will stay here.... GOLAUD. You will be afraid, all alone. We do not know what there may be here ... all night long ... all alone ... it is impossible. Mélisande, come, give me your hand.... MÉLISANDE. Oh, do not touch me!... GOLAUD. Do not scream.... I will not touch you again. But come with me. The night will be very dark and very cold. Come with me.... MÉLISANDE. Where are you going?... GOLAUD. I do not know.... I am lost too.... [_Exeunt._ SCENE III.--_A hall in the castle_. ARKËL _and_ GENEVIÈVE _discovered_. GENEVIÈVE.
