My second husband is called Satow. He is a Russian---


PROFESSOR RUBEK.

And where is he?


IRENE.

Far away in the Ural Mountains. Among all his gold-mines.


PROFESSOR RUBEK.

So he lives there?


IRENE.

[Shrugs her shoulders.] Lives? Lives? In reality I have killed
him---


PROFESSOR RUBEK.

[Start.] Killed---!


IRENE.
