WERMELSKIRCH

Who's in there?

MRS. HENSCHEL

Mr. Siebenhaar.—'Tis so still. Nobody don't answer.—

SIEBENHAAR

[Very pale and holding BERTHEL on his arm hurries out of the bedroom.] Mrs. Henschel, take your child and go up to my wife.

MRS. HENSCHEL

[Already with the child in her arms.] For God's sake, what has happened?

SIEBENHAAR

You'll find that out all too soon.
