Withdraw.
The Lady.
It goes too fast. (They continue playing, until Pierrot catches her hand. ) Pierrot (laughing. ) T is done. I win my forfeit at the last.
THE PIERROT OF THE MINUTE 21 (He tries to embrace her. She escapes; he chases her round the stake; she eludes him. ) The Lady.
Thou art not quick enough. Who hopes to catch A moon-beam, must use twice as much despatch.
Pierrot (sitting down sulkily. ) I grow aweary, and my heart is sore. Thou dost not love me; I will... play no more.
(He buries his face in his hands. The Lady stands over him. ) The Lady.
What is this petulance?
Pierrot.
'T is quick to tell — Thou hast but mocked me.
The Lady.
Nay ! I love thee well !
Pierrot.
Repeat those words, for within my breast A whisper warns me they are said in jest.
The Lady.
I jested not: at daybreak I must go.
Yet loving thee far better than thou know.
