HOFFMAN (amazed).

Heavens!


GIULIETTA.

Listen, gentlemen,
Here come the gondolas,
The hour of barcaroles
And of farewells!

(Schlemil conducts the guests out. Giulietta goes away throwing a look
at Hoffman. Dapertutto remains. Nicklausse goes toward Hoffman.)


NICKLAUSSE.

Are you coming?


HOFFMAN.

Not yet.


NICKLAUSSE.

Why? Very well. I understand, Good-by.
