RIDERS TO THE SEA

done? Did you see Bartley, I’m saying to you?


MAURYA

With a weak voice.

My heart’s broken from this day.


CATHLEEN

As before.

Did you see Bartley?


MAURYA

I seen the fearfulest thing.


CATHLEEN

Leaves her wheel and looks out.

God forgive you; he’s riding the mare now over the green head, and the gray pony behind him.


MAURYA

Starts, so that her shawl falls back from her head and shows her white tossed hair. With a frightened voice.

The gray pony behind him.


CATHLEEN

Coming to the fire.

What is it ails you, at all?
