Done him completely! Judge for yourself. Some of them will meet here soon. Get into the oven, and see what they'll do. You'll be well satisfied! CHIEF (climbs into the oven) We'll see! Enter the Peasant and four old men. The Wife follows. The men sit down round the table. The Wife lays the cloth, sets ox-foot brawn and pies on the table. The old men exchange greetings with Labourer. (FIRST ELDER: Well, have you made more of the drink?) Yes, we've distilled as much as we need. Why let valuable stuff be wasted? (SECOND ELDER: And is it a success?) Better than the first lot.
