Act II

Judith
I’ve given you all that makes life worth living⁠—my youth, my womanhood, and now my child. Would you tear the very heart out of me? I tell you, it’s infamous that men like you should be allowed to pollute Society. You have ruined my life. I have nothing left⁠—nothing. God in heaven, where am I to turn for help.⁠ ⁠…
Sorel
Through clenched teeth.
Is this true? Answer me⁠—is this true?
Judith
Wailing.
Yes, yes!
Sorel
Springing at Simon .
You cur!!!
Judith
Rushing between them.
Don’t strike! He is your father!
She totters and falls in a dead faint.
