Margot. Not that way! As I am now, humiliated--mortified--disgraced--no, not that way! I am so tired of playing Magdalen! No! When I come, I'll come with a free step. I'll be able to look every man in the face! But I must find out first what I am still worth, and (_looking him full in the face_) it must be a great, great deal--to be worthy of you. Ebeling (_moved_). Give me your hands, dear. Margot (_doing so_). When we see each other again, they'll be red and ugly. (Ebeling _kisses her hands and presses them to his face._) Good-bye. (_She turns to go._) Curtain. III THE LAST VISIT A PLAY IN ONE ACT CHARACTERS The Unknown Lady. Lieutenant Von Wolters. Mulbridge, a horse-trainer. His Wife. Daisy, their daughter. Kellermann. Tempski, an orderly. A Groom. The Present Day. _The scene is laid in a large German garrison_. THE LAST VISIT Frau Mulbridge. Well, now we have seen our poor, dear captain for the last time. Mulbridge. Yes. He was a good fellow, our captain and--awfully fond of horses. Frau Mulbridge. Why, Daisy, what's the matter, dear? You've been standing here all alone, and yet, until now, you wouldn't stir from the coffin. Daisy. I saw him quite well from here, mother, dear. Mulbridge (_caressing her_). My girlie--my little girl. Yes--we all loved him. Frau Mulbridge. (_To_ Tempski, _who is sobbing._) There, there, Tempski, hush now. (_A bell rings, right._) There's the bell; go and open the door. (Tempski _goes out at the right._) Mulbridge (_to the_ Groom). And we'll be off to the stables! Frau Mulbridge. Sh! The Lieutenant! Mulbridge (_to the Groom_). Go on! (_Pushes the_ Groom _out, left._) (Lieutenant von Wolters _enters. He is an attractive young officer, very smart in appearance, wearing the uniform of an Uhlan_. Kellermann, _a self-possessed, sharp-eyed man, follows him. While they are entering_, Tempski _comes in at the right, quietly places a wreath on one of the piles near the columns, and goes out again._) v. Wolters. Well, Herr-- (_He puts his hand to his eyes, overcome for the moment, then stiffly, trying to conceal his emotion._) Herr--Kellermann was the name, wasn't it? Kellermann. At your service, Lieutenant.
