ACT V.
The threshing-floor. Nearest to the audience, the grain-ricks; on the left, the even floor; on the right, the barn of the threshing-floor. The doors of the barn are open. Through the doors straw is seen; in the background, the yard. Songs and tambourines are heard. Two girls walk on the path near the barn, toward the house.
Scene I. Two girls.
First Girl. You see, we have come without getting our shoes dirty; through the village the road is dreadful! so dirty. (They stop to clean their shoes with straw.)
First Girl (looking into the straw and seeing something). What is this?
Second Girl (looking in). That is Mítrich, their hired hand. See how drunk he is!
First Girl. He must have been drinking heavily.
