FIRST MAIDSERVANT.

The sun is rising on the sea!

PORTER.

It is open…. It is wide open!… [All the maidservants appear on the threshold and pass over it.]

FIRST MAIDSERVANT.

I am going to wash the sill first….

SECOND MAIDSERVANT.

We shall never be able to clean all this.

OTHER MAIDSERVANTS.

Fetch the water! fetch the water!
