Another
Yes, but not before she does!...
The Man whose Hand was withered
She shall not go from here until....
A Palsied Man
In any case, she shall not go hence alive, take my word for it!...
(Almost ALL, shouting, gesticulating, threatening, with clenched fists, crowd round Magdalene, who remains motionless and dumb.)
Joseph of Arimathæa (intervening)
Come, come, do not forget who you are, where you are nor in whose name you are speaking. (To Verus) Sir, I beg of you, a little patience.... I am a just and reasonable man; and everything will be explained.... Listen, Magdalene, I am speaking to you in his name.... There is still time to say yes.... I am speaking as a father....
(Magdalene maintains her motionless silence.)
