Act II]
101
Robert
What would it matter now?
Bertha
[Looking round her.] Where do you keep your clothes here?
Robert
[Points to the door at the back.] In there. I fancy I have a jacket here. [Maliciously.] In my bedroom.
Bertha
Well, go in and take that off.
Robert
And you?
Bertha
I will wait here for you.
Robert
Do you command me to?
Bertha
[Laughing.] Yes, I command you.
Robert
[Promptly.] Then I will. [He goes quickly towards the bedroom door; then turns round.] You won't go away?
Bertha
No, I will wait. But don't be long.
Robert
Only a moment.
[He goes into the bedroom, leaving the door open. Bertha looks curiously about her and then glances in indecision towards the door at the back.]
