MADAM BUTTERFLY<br />
SUZUKI<br />
(still far from convinced)<br />
I never heard as yet<br />
Of foreign husband<br />
Who returned to his nest.<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(furious)<br />
Silence, or I'll kill you.<br />
(still trying to persuade Suzuki)<br />
Why, just before he went,<br />
I asked of him; "You'll come back again to me?**<br />
And with his heart so heavy,<br />
To conceal his trouble,<br />
With a smile he made answer:<br />
(imitating Pinkerton)<br />
O <strong>Butterfly</strong>,<br />
My tiny little child-wife,<br />
I'll return with the roses,<br />
The warm and sunny season<br />
When the red-breasted robins<br />
Are busy nesting.<br />
(calm and convinced)<br />
And he'll return.<br />
SUZUKI<br />
(still incredulous)<br />
We'll hope so.<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(insisting)<br />
He'll return 1<br />
Say<br />
SUZUKI<br />
it with me:<br />
(repeats, to please her)<br />
He'll return !<br />
(then she bursts out weeping)
