Young Hollunder
He stabbed himself too deep in his chest. But he's still breathing. He can still talk, too, but very faintly. At first he lay there unconscious, but when they put him on the stretcher he came to.

We'd better make room. [They make room. Two workmen carry in Liliom on a stretcher which has four legs and stands about as high as a bed. They put the stretcher at left directly in front of the sofa, so that the head is at right and the foot at left. Then they unobtrusively join the group at the door. Later, they go out. Julie is standing at the side of the stretcher, where, without moving, she can see Liliom's face. The others crowd emotionally together near the door. The First Policeman enters.]
First Policeman
Are you his wife?
Julie
Yes.
First Policeman
The doctor at the factory who bandaged him up forbade us to take him to the hospital.—Dangerous
