Who has been sitting near the hillock, rises. I'm tellin' ye, lassie. But if ye're goin', Lu, it's time we started. LU

Steadying herself.

I'm coming, Danny. Jim boy, goodbye. JIM

Shocked.

Goodbye ! LU

Yes, Jim; now

They stand staring at each other. Then Lu, with her soft, firm voice, speaks : Jim, I've made up my mind, so don't ask again.

My little voyage is over and I got a quiet harbor waiting for me, but you — you got to go on understand - for my sake. JIM

Lu, you can't go like this ! LU

Yes, Jim - 1 - Oh, Jim, understand ! Exit Danny and Lu.
