HENRIETTA
My God, my God! How terrible it is! It is burning and burning, and there is no end to the fire!
SECOND WOMAN
Yesterday it was burning further away, and tonight the fire is nearer. It is growing nearer. O Lord!
HENRIETTA
It is burning and burning, there is no end to the fire! Today the sun was covered in a mist.
SECOND WOMAN
It is forever burning, and the sun is growing ever darker! Now it is lighter at night than in the daytime!
SILVINA
I am afraid!
