A LITTLE SUMMER HOUSE
MARGARET BOUNCES IN, HIDES BEHIND THE DOOR, HOLDING HER
FINGER TO HER LIPS, AND PEEPS THROUGH THE CRACK
MARGARET
He’s coming!
FAUST (ENTERING)
You tease me then depart!
Now you’re caught!
HE KISSES HER
MARGARET (EMBRACING HIM AND RETURNING THE KISS)
Best of men! I love you from my
heart!
MEPHISTOPHELES KNOCKS
FAUST (STAMPING HIS FOOT)
Who’s there?
MEPHISTOPHELES
A friend!
FAUST
A beast!
MEPHISTOPHELES
Our time has truly
gone.
MARTHA (ENTERING)
Yes, it is late, good sir.
FAUST
Well, may I take you home?
MARGARET
I fear my mother would- good-bye!
FAUST
Must I
go then?
Good-bye!
MARTHA
Adieu!
MARGARET
Soon may we meet again!
FAUST AND MEPHISTOPHELES EXIT
MARGARET
Dear God! Oh, all that one could find
Of thoughts in such a man’s deep mind.
I stand ashamed in front of him,
Just saying yes to everything.
I am but poor, unknowing… I cannot see
Just what it is he finds in me.
SHE EXITS
