Scene XI

Faust, Mephistopheles.

Mep. Fool!

Faust. You overheard us?

Mep. Happily. You have great need, learned Doctor,
To be sent again to school.

Faust. Leave me!

Mep. Deign first to listen for a moment,
To the speech she rehearses to the stars.
Dear master, delay. She opens her window.

(Marguerite opens the window of the pavilion, and remains with her head resting on her hand.)
