other wicked and hateful. ASTA. [With painful emotion.] I had never--never dreamt of anything like this! ALLMERS. I did not realise it either, till to-day. ASTA. And now you want to--! What is it you really want, Alfred? ALLMERS. I want to get away from everything here--far, far away from it all. ASTA. And to stand quite alone in the world? ALLMERS. [Nods.] As I used to, before, yes. ASTA. But you are not fitted for living alone! ALLMERS. Oh, yes. I was so in the old days, at any rate. ASTA. In the old days, yes; for then you had me with you. ALLMERS. [Trying to take her hand.] Yes. And it is to you, Asta, that I now want to come home again.

That is quite a mistake! ALLMERS. Good. Then I will come to you--my dear, dear sister. I must come to you again--home to you, to be purified and ennobled after my life with-- ASTA. [Shocked.] Alfred,--you are doing Rita a great wrong! ALLMERS. I have done her a great wrong. But not in this. Oh, think of it, Asta--think of our life together, yours and mine. Was it not like one long holy-day from first to last? ASTA. Yes, it was, Alfred. But we can never live it over again. ALLMERS. [Bitterly.] Do you mean that marriage has so irreparably ruined me? ASTA. [Quietly.] No, that is not what I mean. ALLMERS. Well, then we two will live our old life over again.
