MADAM BUTTERFLY 43<br />
SHARPLESS<br />
(resignedly folds up the letter and replaces it in his pocket)<br />
(Well, really !<br />
Here I ought to prevent her<br />
(shaking his head hi vexation)<br />
That fiend of a Pinkerton !)<br />
(rises, and looking straight into <strong>Butterfly</strong>'s eyes, very seriously)<br />
Now say,<br />
What would you do, tell me, Madam <strong>Butterfly</strong>,<br />
If he were never to return again ?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(motionless, like one who has received a death blow, bows her head, and says with childlike<br />
submissiveness :)<br />
Two things I might do :<br />
Go back and entertain<br />
The people with my spn<br />
Or else, better to die.<br />
SHARPLESS<br />
(is deeply moved, and walks up and down excitedly then he turns to <strong>Butterfly</strong>, takes her<br />
banal in bis, and says with, fatherly tenderness :)<br />
I am loth indeed to tear you<br />
From illusions so beguiling,<br />
But I urge you to accept the hand<br />
Of wealthy Yamadori.<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(withdrawing her hands from his)<br />
You, Augustness, you tell me this !<br />
Holy powers,<br />
SHARPLESS<br />
(embarrassed)<br />
what can I do ?<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
(cbips her hands -Suzuki hastens in)<br />
Here, Suzuki, come quickly please.<br />
Show his Honour to the door.<br />
You dismiss me ?<br />
SHARPLESS<br />
CU on the point of leaving, but <strong>Butterfly</strong> rung to him Bobbing, and holda him back)
