One for you and four for her. Will you listen to one of those he wrote to her? (Opens it.) Shall I open it? (SACHEL: You have, already.) Shall I read it? (SACHEL: Yes.) (Reads.) "My darling: If I take ship at once with Hanakoff for London, I have the opportunity of a life time; it will fix me in my career as I had never dreamed of. My mind tells my heart that I must go; but I am as joyful as I am sorrowful; for in a week, dear, I take you away from the stifling air you breathe to-night--out of the Ghetto, into the freedom which is the right of our love. Good night, my angel! Your Rafael."
