Curse him! (Hurling his book to the floor.) Curse him! Yes, I do curse him--him and his class! Perhaps I curse myself too in doing it. He has only led "a man's life"--just as I, how many of us, have done! The misery he has brought on me and mine it's likely enough we, in our time, have helped to bring on others by this leading "a man's life"! But I do curse him for all that. My God, I've nothing more to fear--I've paid my fine! And so I can curse him in safety. Curse him! Curse him! (DRUMMLE.: In Heaven's name, tell me what's happened?) (Gripping DRUMMLE's arm.) Paula! Paula! (DRUMMLE.: What?) They met to-night here. They--they--they're not strangers to each other.
