[_Springs up in despair, entwines her hands in her hair and shrieks._] I cannot bear it! [_Whispers, as though petrified_;] I cannot bear it! Never! [_Suddenly._] Where has he got them? [_Fumbles hastily in his breast._] Here! [_Shrinks back a few steps and screams:_] No; no; no!—Yes!—No; no! [_She stands a few steps away from him with her hands twisted in her hair, and stares at him in speechless horror._ OSWALD. [_Sits motionless as before and says._] The sun.—The sun. THE END. ----- Footnote 14: “Sige du” = Fr. _tutoyer_. Printed by BALLANTYNE & CO. LIMITED Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transcriber’s Note There was no anchor for the footnote on p. 276. An anchor has been placed on the most likely spot, based on the context. There are quite a few instances of missing punctuation. The conventional period following the character’s name is sometimes missing and has been added for consistency’s sake without further comment. Those missing from setting and stage direction are also added without comment, since there is no obvious purpose to be served by the omission. However, the restoration of punctuation missing from dialogue is noted below, since the punctuation is frequently expressive. Several instances of dubious ‘?’ marks have been corrected, based on context. Volume I of this series included errata for each succeeding volume, but noted none in Volume VII. The contraction ‘mustn’t’ appears twenty-one times, but twice without the internal ‘t’ as ‘musn’t’. These have been corrected. Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
