ACT II

SCENE: Helena's drawing room. On the left a baize door, and a door to the music room, on the right a door to Helena's bedroom. In the centre are windows looking out on the sea and the harbor. A table with odds and ends, a sofa and chairs, a writing table with an electric lamp, on the right a fireplace. On a small table back of the sofa, a small reading lamp. The whole drawing room, in all its details is of a modern and purely feminine character. Ten years have elapsed since Act I.

Domin, Fabry, Hallemeier, enter on tiptoe from the left, each carrying a potted plant.

Hallemeier

[Putting down his flower and indicating the door to right]: Still asleep? Well, as long as she's asleep she can't worry about it.

Domin

She knows nothing about it.
