THE MAKROPOULOS SECRET

[He goes—Hauk-Sendorf enters]

Buenos dias, Max. Why so early?

Sh-sh. [He tiptoes over to her and kisses her on the neck] Dress yourself quickly, Eugenie! We are going.

Where?

Home. To Spain. My wife doesn’t know. Don’t you see, I can’t go back to her now. Por Dios, Eugenie. Make haste.

Are you mad?

No. I am being watched. They caught me once and sent me back. Sss, like baggage, you know. Eh? I want to run away. And you will take me away?
