Liliom

Julie—come—hold my hand tight.


Julie

I'm holding it tight—all the time.


Liliom

Tighter, still tighter—I'm going——[Pauses.] Julie——


Julie

Good-bye. [Liliom sinks slowly back and dies. Julie frees her hand. The Doctor enters with the First Policeman.]


Doctor

Good evening. His wife?


Julie

Yes, sir. [Behind the Doctor and Policeman enter Marie, Wolf, Mother Hollunder, Young Hollunder and Mrs. Muskat. They remain respectfully at the doorway. The Doctor bends over Liliom and examines him.]


Doctor

A light, if you please. [Julie fetches a burning candle from the dark room. The Doctor examines Liliom briefly in the candle-light, then turns suddenly away.] Have you pen and ink?
