Melchior Gabor? |
Wendla Bergman?! Like a tree nymph fallen from the branches. What are you doing- alone up here? |
|
|
Mama's making may wine. I thought I'd surprise her with some woodruff. And you? |
This is my favorite spot. My private place-for thinking. |
|
|
Oh. I'm sorry- |
No-no. Please. So... How have you been doing? |
|
|
Well, this morning was wonderful. Our youth group brought baskets of food and clothing to the day-laborers children. |
I remember when we used to do that. Together. |
|
|
You should have seen their faces, Melchior. How much we brightened their day. |
Actually, it's something I've been thinking a lot about. |
|
|
The day laborers? |
("No"): our little acts of charity. What do you think, Wendla, can our Sunday school deeds really make a difference? |
|
|
They have to. Of course. What other hope do those people have? |
I dont know, exactly. But I fear that industry is fast determining itself firmly against them. |
|
|
Against us all, then. |
Thank you, yes? |
|
|
It seems to me: what serves each of us best is what serves all of us best. |
Indeed. (Beat) wendla Bergman, I have known you all these years amd we've never truly talked. |
|
|
We have so few opportunities. Now that we're older. |
True. In a more progressive world, of course, we could all attend the same school. Boys and girls together. Wouldn't that be remarkable? |
|
|
What time is it? |
Must be close to four. |
|
|
Oh? I thought it was later. I paused and lay so long in the moss by stream, and I just let myself dream... I thought it must be... Later. |
Then can't you sit for a moment? When you lean back against this oak, and stare up at the clouds, you start to think hypnotic things.. |
|
|
I have to be back before five. |
But, when you lie here, such a strange, wonderful peace settles over you... |
|
|
Well, for a moment maybe. |
..... |
|
|
The sun's setring Melchior. Truly, I'd better go. |
(Touches her) we'll go together. Ill habe you on the bridge in ten minutes. |
