Act V

Scene II

MAJOR VON TELLHEIM


Maj. T.How do I feel!… My whole soul has acquired a new impulse. My own unhappiness bowed me to the ground; made me fretful, short-sighted, shy, careless: her unhappiness raises me. I see clearly again, and feel myself ready and capable of undertaking anything for her sake. Why do I tarry?(Is going towards MINNA’S room, when FRANZISKA comes out of it.)
