The door opens and David, horror-stricken, runs in. A shout is heard behind him. David closes the door and holds it with his shoulder.
DAVID.

ANATHEMA.
What do they say?
DAVID.
They do not believe me, Nullius. They ask for a miracle. But do the dead also shout?—I saw the dead they have brought here.
