THE GREAT ANCESTOR

(TYLTYL fetches THE WHITE PHANTOM and brings her back, holding her by the hand.)
THE GREAT ANCESTOR

TYLTYL

THE GREAT ANCESTOR
(To THE PHANTOM.) Come nearer, child, and let me lift the veil that covers your face.... (He removes the veil. The statue's face appears, absolutely white, featureless and devoid of human expression.) She has no face.... (To the other ANCESTORS standing around them.) Do you know her?
