PROFESSOR RUBEK.

Indeed I do, Maia.


MAIA.

I alone? Not the people here?


PROFESSOR RUBEK.

Oh yes, they too--a little, perhaps. And not at all in the direction
of amiability. That I readily admit.


MAIA.

I should think you must admit it, indeed.


PROFESSOR RUBEK.

[Changing the subject.] Do you know how it affects me when I look at
the life of the people around us here?


MAIA.
