[After a pause.] I have no husband. I'm a widow.
Liliom
A widow?
Julie
Yes.
Liliom
Your husband—I suppose he's been dead a long time. [Julie does not answer.] I say—has your husband been dead a long time?
Julie
A long time.
Liliom
What did he die of? [Julie is silent.]
Louise
No one knows. He went to America to work and he died there—in the hospital. Poor father, I never knew him.
Liliom
He went to America?
Louise
Yes, before I was born.
Liliom
To America?
