THE DARK CHAMBER

Singers
Oh, grand! Everything was red, red! Only the moon in the sky gave us the slip—it remained White.
Grandfather
He only looks so innocent from the outside. If you had only taken off his white disguise, you would have seen his trickery. I have been watching what red colours he is throwing on the Earth to-night. And yet, fancy his remaining white and colourless all the while!
Song
With you is my game, love, my love!
My heart is mad, it will never own defeat,
Do you think you will escape stainless yourself reddening me with red powder?
