Jeanne. You know St. Remy's church and the Meuse and the beech-tree where they said the fairies used to dance. The tree. Is it still there?

Paul. I do not know.

Jeanne. And the fields! The fields where I kept my father's sheep, and the wolves would not come near when I had charge of them, and the birds came to me and ate bread from my lap. You know those fields of Domremy?

Paul. I knew them once.

Jeanne. You knew my church. It still is there?

Paul. Who can say?

Jeanne. Cannot you, who were baptized in it?

Paul. Jeanne, the Germans came to Domremy. I do not know if anything is left.

Jeanne. The Germans? But the Germans did not count when I lived there.

Fred. No, and they'll count a sight less before so long.
