power of the Lord。 'Some of them throw things at him。'
MARTIN DOUL 'turning round defiantly and picking up a stone。'
Keep off now; the yelping lot of you; or it's more than one
maybe will get a bloody head on him with the pitch of my stone。
Keep off now; and let you not be afeard; for we're going on the
two of us to the towns of the south; where the people will have
kind voices maybe; and we won't know their bad looks or their
villainy at all。 (He takes Mary Doul's hand again。) Come along
now and we'll be walking to the south; for we've seen too much of
everyone in this place; and it's small joy we'd have living near
them; or hearing the lies they do be telling from the gray of
dawn till the night。
MARY DOUL 'despondingly。' That's the truth; surely; and
we'd have a right to be gone; if it's a long way itself; as I've
heard them say; where you do have to be walking with a slough of
wet on the one side and a slough of wet on the other; and you
going a stony path with a north wind blowing behind。 'They go
out。'
TIMMY。 There's a power of deep rivers with floods in them where
you do have to be lepping the stones and you going to the south;
so I'm thinking the two of them will be drowned together in a
short while; surely。
SAINT。 They have chosen their lot; and the Lord have mercy on
their souls。 (He rings his bell。) And let the two of you come
up now into the church; Molly Byrne and Timmy the smith; till I
make your marriage and put my blessing on you all。
'He turns to the church; procession forms; and the curtain comes
down; as they go slowly into the church。'
