FIRST PEASANT
Forgive us, lady, but we heard a noise.
SECOND PEASANT
We sat by the fireside telling vanities.
FIRST PEASANT
We heard a noise, but though we have searched the house
We have found nobody.
CATHLEEN
You are too timid,
For now you are safe from all the evil times,
There is no evil that can find you here.
OONA (entering hurriedly)
Ochone! Ochone! The treasure room is broken in.
The door stands open, and the gold is gone.
