PAULA—That’s awfully good of you, Mr. Juhasz, but——

JUHASZ—Do you _want_ to stay here?

PAULA—I see no reason why I shouldn’t.

JUHASZ—I am the better judge of that. And I shan’t let you stay.

PAULA—I appreciate your motives, Mr. Juhasz. But pardon me if I say you

have no right to decide whether I may stay or go.

JUHASZ—No right? Didn’t I bring you here ... into this danger?

PAULA—Perhaps I came ... of my own accord.

JUHASZ—I see. His insidious poison has begun to work on you already.

Well, Paula, I won’t have it that way. You have never seen me determined

yet.... Perhaps I never was before.... But I am now.... Paula [_with a

burst of courage_], I’ll take you with me by force if necessary.

PAULA—I repeat ... you have no right to do that.

JUHASZ—[_At a loss for the moment._] No right ... no right?

PAULA—You are not my father ... or any relation of mine.
