JUHASZ—You are surprised.... You thought I kept watch over you quite
unselfishly ... like a brother.... Well, so I did ... at first.... I used
to pace up and down beneath the Count’s window ... all night long ...
without a thought in my mind except to keep you from harm.... Sometimes
I was tired and sleepy ... but there I stayed ... under his window ...
because it was my duty to protect you ... and then ... gradually ... I
began to realize ... that I liked to watch ... that I was never tired or
sleepy any more ... my whole attitude had changed ... but I didn’t tell
you.... I still pretended to be guarding you ... only because I had your
interest at heart ... while all the time it was because I loved you....
And now ... you can send me away, if you like.
PAULA—Mr. Juhasz ... I don’t know ... I really don’t know what to say.
JUHASZ—You never guessed it.
