Wenzel. I know what fate awaits me: Agnes, Micha, and Kezal. Where did you get this information? Wenzel. So-some one, who offered me her heart. . . Agnes, Micha, and Kezal. And who is opposed to your marriage. Wenzel. Oh no, oh no! Agnes, Micha, and Kezal. What did the girl tell you? Wenzel. She said she loves me dearly! Agnes. And do you know her? Wenzel. Oh no! (He runs away) Agnes, Micha, and Kezal. They are cursed things! SCENE IV. (Marie, Kruschina, Kathinka and the former. Then Wenzel.) Marie (rushes in, Kruschina and Kathinka after her.)

Kezal. Come here and see! Kruschina. He gave a shameful price for you. Kezal. Here it is, in black and white! (shows the paper.) Yes, for three hundred gulden Marie. Who would have believed it of him? (weeping.) May God pardon him! "Yes, I am your's alone!" Kruschina. Be quiet, my poor child, Kezal. Here, sign quickly. (Wenzel is in the background, visible again.) Now, Wenzel, come! Kathinka. My child, take courage, Marie. And if he deserted me, The Others. In forgetfulness Kezal (notices Wenzel and calls.) Here, Wenzel, here, my little Wenzel!
