I shall never be able to get out of this forest again.--God knows where that beast has led me. And yet I thought I had wounded him to death; and here are traces of blood. But now I have lost sight of him; I believe I am lost myself--my dogs can no longer find me--I shall retrace my steps....--I hear weeping.... Oh! oh! what is there yonder by the water's edge?... A little girl weeping by the water's edge? (He coughs.) --She does not hear me. I cannot see her face. (He approaches and touches MÉLISANDE on the shoulder.) Why weepest thou? (MÉLISANDE trembles, starts up, and would flee.) --Do not be afraid. You have nothing to fear. Why are you weeping here all alone? MÉLISANDE. Do not touch me! do not touch me!
