No, I don't want to go yet. I'm too tired. Let me stay here a little longer.
Arthur
Put your feet up.
Violet
Come and sit close to me, Arthur. I want to be comforted. You're so good and kind to me, Arthur. I'm so glad I have you. You will never fail me.
Arthur
Never. [She gives a little shudder.] What's the matter?
Violet
I hope he'll marry her quickly. I want to be a good wife to you. I want your love. I want your love so badly.
Arthur
My dear one.
Violet
Put your arms round me. I'm so tired.
Arthur
You're half asleep… Are you asleep?
[Her eyes are closed. He kisses her gently. In the distance there is heard again the melancholy wail of a Bedouin love-song.]
THE END
