Martha and Mary are beside the poor dead child. The peasants were to make a litter of leaves; and I told the elder to come warn us in all haste, the moment they began their march. Let us wait till she comes; she will go in with me.... We should not have looked on them so.... I thought it would be only to knock upon the door; to go in simply, find a phrase or two, and tell.... But I have seen them live too long under their lamp.... (Enter.) MARY. (MARY: They are coming, grandfather.) Is It you?--Where are they? (MARY: They are at the foot of the last hills.) They will come in silence?
