Julie

[Without alarm.] Who is that?


Carpenter

[Very slowly.] The carpenter.


Julie

What does the carpenter want?


Carpenter

Can I be of help to you in any way? Shall I stay here with you?


Julie

[Gratefully, but firmly.] Don't stay, carpenter.


Carpenter

Shall I come back tomorrow?


Julie

Not tomorrow, either.


Carpenter

Don't be offended, Miss Julie, but I'd like to know—you see, I'm not a young man any more—I have two children—and if I'm to come back any more—I'd like to know—if there's any use——


Julie

No use, carpenter.
