Ahab
[Tenderly] How do you feel? Have you slept well?
The Mother
How can I sleep well, when my dreams are so dreadful? Where is he? I saw him. Why did he go away?
Ahab
Whom do you mean?
The Mother
Why did he go away? Why did you let him go away?
There has been no one in the room but Jochebed and me.
