CANZLER--(_Lifting his hand._) No word.
(_Oswald moves slowly to the tree, takes the
crucifix upon his shoulder, and, with bowed
head, goes off right._)
SELMA--(_Calling from the left._) Oswald!
(_The girl enters with her water. She stops, looks
after Oswald until he has disappeared,
then turns with a questioning look to her
father._) O father!
CANZLER-- As for me,
Let a man be a man. Outside of that,
There is no power on earth that dares ask more;
No power in heaven that will.
(_He turns and goes back toward the cottage._)
SELMA--(_With a sigh, looking right._) Oswald, Oswald.
