Do you hear that, Christine! What are we to do? Shall we let her die in the deception practised on her by a miserable wretch like Marten--and perhaps get her thanks for it--or shall we turn her final prayer into a curse? No, let them come, rather! Or what do you think, Christine? (Christine: I dare not think at all.) Oh, it is horrible! They have fallen asleep over their dice and their tumblers. And by such as those my mother is to be prepared for her death! (Christine: But why not tell her the truth?) She won't believe it, and it is cast back on us as a lie.
