MARGARET [_darts in, hides behind the door, presses the tip of
her finger to her lips, and peeps through the crack_].
_Margaret_. He comes!
_Enter_ FAUST.
_Faust_. Ah rogue, how sly thou art!
I've caught thee!
[_Kisses her_.]
_Margaret [embracing him and returning the kiss_].
Dear good man! I love thee from my heart!
[MEPHISTOPHELES _knocks_.]
_Faust [stamping_]. Who's there?
_Mephistopheles_. A friend!
_Faust_. A beast!
_Mephistopheles_. Time flies, I don't offend you?
_Martha [entering_]. Yes, sir, 'tis growing late.
_Faust_. May I not now attend you?
_Margaret_. Mother would--Fare thee well!
_Faust_. And must I leave thee then? Farewell!
_Martha_. Adé!
_Margaret_. Till, soon, we meet again!
[_Exeunt_ FAUST _and_ MEPHISTOPHELES.]
_Margaret_. Good heavens! what such a man's one brain
Can in itself alone contain!
I blush my rudeness to confess,
And answer all he says with yes.
Am a poor, ignorant child, don't see
What he can possibly find in me.
[_Exit_.]
