JOHN
Dost thou lie here always in the road?
MESULEMETH
I lie here always. For I must be at the Temple. Day and night I must be at the Temple.
JOHN
Art thou not greedy for alms?
MESULEMETH
[Shaking her head.] The little I want, the pilgrims give me. But hast thou never heard of Hannah, the prophetess?
JOHN
I have heard speak of her, when I was a child.
