Magdalene!...

(In the street, suddenly, the tumult falls, as a huge, heavy object might fall. A wonderful silence.)

A Voice (in the room)

What is it?...

The Blind Man of Jericho (at the window)

He falls!... He has fallen!... He is looking at the house!...

Verus

Magdalene, I still promise you....

Mary Magdalene (without stirring, without looking at Verus, without anger, simply, in a voice from another life, full of peace, full of divine clarity and certainty)

Go!...
