I do not shudder … how his steady glance
Doth pierce me to mine inmost depths of soul.
Capesius (to himself):
His shudder shows me that I saw aright.
(Capesius turns to Maria.)
Maria, thou dost come in fitting time.
Perhaps thy tongue may speak some word of cheer.
To solve the problem which oppresseth me.
Maria:
I thought to find Johannes here, not thee.
