I have no sadness . . . none at all. Let me go now. I have no time.<br />

Stay! You are not angry at me, are you?<br />

ADOLF.<br />

HANNE.<br />

But then you have also heard my open-hearted confession that it was actually you, dear<br />

Louise, who as soon as I arrived made an <strong>in</strong>delible impression on my heart. It should<br />

never have come from my lips . . . never! You belong to another, and I must abandon<br />
