MESULEMETH
Well, this is her place. Here she sat and waited for the Messiah, forty years long. When she died she left the place to me ... And now I sit and wait till He comes again.
JOHN
Comes again? Hath He then been already?
MESULEMETH
Certainly He hath.
JOHN
[In deep emotion.] He came? Came even to thee?
MESULEMETH
To me? No. If He had come to me, I should have been at rest long ago. But Hannah ... She saw Him when He came.
