- [Steps are heard outside the little house. They come nearer. There is a knock at the door, and Blick's voice is heard.
Blick. Snow White, it's us, the Dwarfs. Open the door. [He knocks again.]
The Pedlar-Woman. [In terror.] The Dwarfs! They'll tear me to pieces if they find me here. I must hide her! Where, where? [She looks about for a place to hide Snow White and seeing no other hope, drags the big table over her and pulls the table cloth down to hide her. Meantime the Dwarfs knock more and more impatiently.]
Blick. Please open, Snow White. We haven't come back for games, honestly. We want to go down into the mines again.
- [The Pedlar-Woman crouches along the wall, looking for some means of escape.
Flick. [Outside, calling.] Snow White!
Glick. [Calling.] Snow White!
