Allmers.

Rita.
We got to know more.
Allmers.
Well?
Rita.
It is not true that he disappeared all at once.
Allmers.
Do they say that now?
Rita.
Yes. They say they saw him lying down on the bottom. Deep down in the clear water.
Allmers.
[Grinding his teeth.] And they didn't save him!
Rita.
I suppose they could not.
Allmers.
They could swim—every one of them. Did they tell you how he was lying whilst they could see him?
Rita.
Yes. They said he was lying on his back. And with great, open eyes.
Allmers.
Open eyes. But quite still?
