Sh! You'd better be grateful. Hurry and go to bed yourself.
MRS. HENSCHEL
There's nothin' else left to do. I'll go an' try. [She goes to the door of the bedroom, stands still as if spellbound and listens.] Wilhelm! You might answer.—[Louder and more frightened.] Wilhelm! You're not to frighten me this way! Maybe you think I don't know that you're still awake!!—[In growing terror.]—Wilhelm, I tell you!… [BERTHEL has waked up and wails.] Berthel, you look out an' keep still! Keep still or I don't know what'll happen!—Wilhelm! Wilhelm!
[She almost shrieks.
SIEBENHAAR looks in again.
SIEBENHAAR

MRS. HENSCHEL
I call an' call an' he don't answer!
