MAIA.

Are there works of art too in this castle?


ULFHEIM.

[Slowly.] Well, no--it's true there are no works of art; but---


MAIA.

[Relieved.] Ah! that's one good thing, at any rate!


ULFHEIM.

Will you go with me, then--as far and as long as I want you?


MAIA.

There is a tame bird of prey keeping watch upon me.


ULFHEIM.

[Wildly.] We'll put a bullet in his wing, Maia!
