HELEN is on the other side of it. After a brief

HELEN
I was just going to ask you the same thing.
LOTH

happens so.
HELEN
Why does that happen?
LOTH
I have never thought about it. To what end?
HELEN
Oh, wouldn't it serve some end?
LOTH
None, at least, that is apparent and practical.
HELEN
And so everything that you do or think must have some practical end in
view.
LOTH
Exactly. Furthermore ...
HELEN

LOTH

HELEN

snatched "The Sorrows of Werther" from my hand.
LOTH
It is a foolish book.
HELEN
Oh, don't say that.
LOTH
Indeed, I must repeat it, Miss Krause. It is a book for weaklings.
HELEN
That may well be.
LOTH
How do you come across just that book? Do you quite understand it?
HELEN
I hope I do--at least, in part. It rests me to read it. [_After a
pause._] But if it _is_ a foolish book, as you say, could you recommend
me a better one?
LOTH
