together for you.

Sexton (calling into the church). Catherine!

Windrank. Hush, hush, man! You'll make the ghosts appear!

Sexton. A plague on your tongue! [Exeunt.]


SCENE 3

(The Sacristy of the Church of St. Nicolaus. There is a door
leading to the church, and another, smaller one, leading to the
pulpit. The walls are hung with chasubles and surplices.
Priedieus and a few small chests are standing about. The sunlight
is pouring in through a window. The church bells are heard
ringing. Through the wall at the left can be heard a constant
murmuring. The Sexton and his Wife enter, stop near the door, and
pray silently.)

Sexton. That's enough! Now, Catherine dear, you'd better hurry up
and do some dusting.

Wife. Oh, there's no special occasion. It's nobody but that
Master Olof who's going to preach to-day. Really, I can't see why
the Chapter allows it.

Sexton. Because he's got permission from the King, you see.

Wife. Well, well!
