Part 15 (2/2)

Au revoir, Fraulein Margot. (_Accompanies her to the door, and calls._) Bonath, see to it that Fraulein Yburg finds her way out. She is coming back later.

_Voice of_ Bonath.

Very well, Herr Ebeling.

(Ebeling _bows to_ Margot, _who is already out of sight, and closes the door._)

Ebeling.

Well, Frau von Yburg, we've brought matters to this point.

Frau v. Yburg (_sighing_).

Yes.

Ebeling.

The divorce was granted yesterday morning.

Frau v. Yburg.

Yes, I know.

Ebeling.

Well, aren't you pleased?

Frau v. Yburg.

My dear Herr Ebeling, my heart is so full of grat.i.tude--really, I don't know how to thank you--for myself and also for my poor, dear child. But I'm so helpless--so perplexed--I really don't know--I----

Ebeling.

Why, what can be wrong?

Frau v. Yburg.

Yes--just fancy--well, then--_she won't do it!_

Ebeling (_astonished_).

What's that?

Frau v. Yburg.

Think of the monstrosity of it! She won't do it.
