Lisa will rectify all that, and then the old man will have atoned for his sin. One must patch where one has torn. (FAIRY: I have already made my preparations.) Here? (FAIRY: Here in this sanctuary whose floor we may not tread.) And why not? True, it is holy ground, and we were not allowed to become participants in the Great Redemption because--well, because something which we mustn't know about came between. But that does not prevent the humans from believing some good of us; and in that they do right, for the matter has its sides. Meantime, I shall not absent myself--even if I may not be near to witness that this reconciliation comes out all right. Even we lost souls can rejoice in the happiness of others. Farewell, but not for long.
