Cossack. It is my mother! I recognize her last words. (_He
springs towards her_.) It is I, Mother, it is I! (_She raises her

Highlander (_raising the daughter's veil_). Good heavens! She

Hussar (_raising the wife's veil_). It is not she! It is a
Frenchwoman.

Grenadier (_raising the sister's veil_). She is a Russian! It

whom we have killed. How could we be so deceived?

Peace (_advancing_). There are sisters, wives, daughters, and
mothers everywhere, my children, and Nature has but one language in all
countries. (_To WAR_.) As for you, go and sound your trumpet in
barracks and drinking-houses, but invoke the Dead no more, and do not
reckon upon women.
