Abbot— God will hold you responsible
If anything should happen to him.
Father Benedict— You
Take care he does not visit you.
Abbot— Just now
You said yourself that it was you who urged
Jardin to seize the dwarf.
Father Benedict— And so I did.
Abbot—Whose fault is it if the dwarf killed him, then?
Father Benedict—We will let God decide whose fault—
Move this.
Abbot— (Setting the lamp down upon the floor.)
You even said Oswald opposed it, and
For that just now you blamed him.
Father Benedict— You think you
Understand everything. You think you do.
(They pull the chest from the wall.)
