When the Dew Falleth
ASHER Where are they?
SIMAH
Who?
ASHER The old ones.
SIMAH In the house. See, there’s a light in the window. They’ve lit the lamp. They’re already in the house.
ASHER Let us run again.
SIMAH Who first?
ASHER You first.
(Simah starts to run, Asher, atter her. Her little cries can be heard in the distance—‘whoo-oo ... whoo-oo... and a little later on—al- ready indistinct—their happy laughter.)
