Part 16 (2/2)
NOURVADY.
All my life.
LIONNETTE.
You swear it to me?
NOURVADY.
On my word of honour.
(_He approaches her quickly. At that moment she stretches out her uncovered arms, and crosses them on her face; that she turns away._ NOURVADY _covers her arms with kisses_.)
A VOICE (_outside the door that_ NOURVADY _has shut_).
Open!
NOURVADY.
Who are you?
THE VOICE.
In the name of the law.
NOURVADY.
I am in my own house. I refuse.
JOHN (_from outside_).
Break open that door.
LIONNETTE.
The coward!
THE VOICE.
It is I who give orders here, and I only. For the last time, will you open the door?
NOURVADY.
No!
THE VOICE.
