LOUISE.<br />

That is a matter of conscience. But <strong>in</strong> any case, what is it worth to let yourself be<br />

(aside and <strong>in</strong> tears).<br />

If I were only a thousand miles away!<br />

ADOLF.<br />

Oh, answer me seriously! If you like me, then do not deny me your consent. Besides . . .<br />

you should get away from this house. The circumstances you live <strong>in</strong> here are not suitable.<br />

LOUISE (laugh<strong>in</strong>g).<br />

Not suitable? Oh, it seems to me they are quite good.<br />

ADOLF.<br />

No, believe me. I see more cl<strong>early</strong> than the rest of you. Be sure to get away. Come with<br />

me to my mother's.<br />

LOUISE.<br />

Thanks, but I am do<strong>in</strong>g very well here otherwise.<br />
