By the middle of the second act very nearly everyone in the house was hissing the dark sleek villain and wildly cheering the hero and his virtuous sayings.

Whoever he is, wherever he obtained his bewildering knowledge of herself, he is warm, intimate, mystically compelling. So much so, that when stodgy Richard does return, she blasts his life by going away with Karl...
