[1526] earth, there's no cure for that! [1527] (Pause.) [1528] It was an
excessively dry day, I remember, zer^o by the hygrometer.
[1529] Ideal weather, for my ^{lumbago poor old bones.}. [1530] (Pause.
[1531] Violently.) [1532] But what in God's name do you imagine? [1533] That
the earth will awake in s^pring? [1534] That there'll be fish to be
found in the rive^rs and seas again? ^{That the rivers
& seas will run
with
fish again?}

[1535] That there^'s
manna in heaven ^still for imbeciles like you? [1536] (Pause.) [1537]
Gradually I recovered my calm, at least sufficiently to
a^sk him how long he had taken on the way. [1538] Three whole days.
[1538|001] Good. [1539] In what state he had left the child? [1540] ^{Deep in} sleep.

[1541] (Forcibly.) [1542] But in what deep sleep, in what deep sleep
already? [1543] (Pause.) [1544] ^{Well to make[⁁]} it short I finally offered to
take him into my service. [1545] He had touched me. [1546] And then I
imagined already that I wasn't much longer for this world!
[1547] (He laughs. [1548] Pause.) [1549] Well? [1550] (Pause.) [1551] Well? [1552] [1553] Here if
you were careful you might die a nice ^natural death, in
peace and comfort. [1554] (Pause.) [1555] Well? [1556] (Pause.)

[1557] In the end he
asked me ^{would I[⁁]} consent to take in the child as well^- if
he were still alive. [1558] (Pause.) [1559] It was the moment I was
waiting for. [1560] (Pause.) [1561] Would I consent to take in the child..
[1562] (Pause.) [1563] I can see him still, down on his knees, his hands
flat on the ground, ^glaring at me with his mad eyes, in
spite of what I had just told him ^{defiance of my wishes.}. [1564] (Pause. [1565] Normal tone.)

[1568] I'll soon have finished with this story. [1569] (Pause.) [1570] Unless
I ^{bring in} other characters. [1571] (Pa^use.) [1572] But where would I
find them? [1573] (Pause.) [1574] Where would I look for them? [1575] (Pause.
[1576] He whistles. [1577] Enter Clov.) [1578] Let's pray to God.
