Shaibalini. Yes, you are my husband.
Chandra Shekhar. Who are you?
Shaibalini. I am Shaibalini.
Chandra Shekhar. What place is this?
Shaibalini. Bedagram—your home.
Chandra Shekhar. Can you say who are waiting outside?
Shaibalini. Pratap, Sundari, and a few others.
Chandra Shekhar. Will you tell me why did you leave Bedagram?
Shaibalini. Because, Foster had taken me away.
Chandra Shekhar. Why couldn't you recollect all these things so long?
Shaibalini. I remembered them, but I could not rightly express myself.
Chandra Shekhar. Why?
Shaibalini. On account of my insanity.
Chandra Shekhar. Is it real or pretended?
Shaibalini. It is absolutely real.
Chandra Shekhar. But, now?
Shaibalini. It is a dream—I have got back my senses through you.
Chandra Shekhar. Then, will you speak the truth?
