THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

Perhaps you—don’t understand. Janek loved you and killed himself for you.

Well, so many kill themselves.

And you can comb your hair?

Should I run around with my hair flying, just for that?

He killed himself for you! Don’t you hear?

Well, is that my fault? Perhaps I ought to tear my hair for you, too. My maid pulls it enough.

Stop! Or

Come in.

[Opening the door]

Mr. Hauk-Sendorf wishes to see you, Madam.

Bring him in.
