Dialogue following No. 2
| PISCATOR (softened).
If you will only wait till half-past six, |
| |
I promise you to let you have your way. |
| AMANDUS. Thanks, kindly fisherman of middle age, |
| |
A fellow feeling binds us. (Shakes hands with him.)
I will wait! |
| PISCATOR (cheerily). All things do come to him who can but wait, |
| |
If he wait long enough. I'll to my sport! (He goes out.) |
| |
|
| (Enter AMANDA across the bridge.) |
| |
|
| AMANDA (resigned). At last my mind's made up--what's left of it, |
| |
After the mouse-like gnawing of my woes, —
And, once made up, that remnant is a dress
Never to be unpicked! Oh! why, when I'm
So very sad, is everything so gay? |
