Description
Casals is unhappy because he realizes that he is hurting Metcalfe by his firm decision to keep his word to Andree. He asks why she didn't understand when he told her at the start that they could not marry. He loves her but doesn't want to give her false hope. She must renounce the idea that they will get married someday. He feels guilty towards her, towards Andree and towards himself. He asks her forgiveness. He wants her to understand him. He looks forward to and at the same time fears her arrival in Europe. Still, he must see her. He will arrive at Sao Paulo the next day.
