We must flee, David, flee!

DAVID.

Joyously.

Yes, yes, Nullius,—we must flee.

ANATHEMA.

I shall hide you in a dark room which no one knows of; when they fall asleep, tired of waiting and hungry, I shall lead you through the sleeping people—and will save you.

DAVID.

Joyously.

Yes, yes, save me.
