 ACT SECOND.

Johannes Rosmer's study. Entrance door on the left. At the back, a doorway with a curtain drawn aside, leading into Rosmer's bedroom. On the right a window, and in front of it a writing-table covered with books and papers. Bookshelves and cases round the room. The furniture is simple. On the left, an old-fashioned sofa, with a table in front of it.

Johannes Rosmer, in an indoor jacket, is sitting in a high-backed chair at the writing-table. He is cutting and turning over the leaves of a pamphlet, and reading a little here and there.

There is a knock at the door on the left.

Rosmer.

[Without moving.] Come in.

Rebecca West.

[Enters, dressed in a morning gown.] Good morning.

Rosmer.

[Turning the leaves of the pamphlet.] Good morning, dear. Do you want anything?

Rebecca. I only wanted to hear if you had slept well.
