BOXER
Look here, Fielitz! Come over here to the light, will you? I'd like to
examine your eyes.--Don't your pupils move at all?
MRS. FIELITZ
[_Pants swiftly and convulsively, throws her hands high up as if in joy,
and cries out half in rapture, half in terror:_] Julius!
LEONTINE
Mama! Mama!
EDE
She's gone to sleep.
LEONTINE
[_Appealing to the DOCTOR._] Mother is swingin' her arms around so!
DR. BOXER
Who? Where? Mrs. Fielitz?
LEONTINE
Look! Look!
EDE
[_Laughing._] Is she tryin' to catch sparrows in the air?
_DR. BOXER has turned from FIELITZ to MRS. FIELITZ._
DR. BOXER
Mrs. Fielitz!
_FIELITZ unconcerned by the events in the room, walks excitedly up
and down in the background. RAUCHHAUPT is tensely watching from the
window what takes place without._
LEONTINE
What is it? Mother won't answer at all!
RAUCHHAUPT
I believe they're goin' to end by comin' over here!
DR. BOXER
What is it, Mrs. Fielitz? What are you trying to do? Why do you move your
hands about in that way?
MRS. FIELITZ
[_Reaching out strangely with both hands._] You reaches ... you reaches
... always this way ...
DR. BOXER
After what?
MRS.
