[Comes into the entry-room, calls.] What are you puttin' off your time with prayin' hypocrites like them for? Come quick to where you're wanted! Quick! Father Baumert, run all you can! The major's speakin' to the crowd from horseback. They're to go home. If you don't hurry up, it'll be all over.

[As he goes out.] That's a brave husband o' yours.

Heigh-ho, heigh!
Set his heart on a wife so tall,
Heigh diddle-di-dum-di!
