Yes, master, you were terrible. Children too saw you
and they died.

Agmar:
You say you saw us?

Man:
Yes, master. Not as you are now, but otherwise. We
implore you, master, not to wander at evening. You are
terrible in the gloaming. You are --

Agmar:
You say we appeared not as we now are. How did we
appear to you?

Man:
Otherwise, master, otherwise.

Agmar:
But how did we appear to you?

Man:
You were all green, master, all green in the gloaming,
all of rock again as you used to be in the mountains.
Master, we can bear to see you in flesh like men, but
when we see rock walking it is terrible,
it is terrible.

Agmar:
That is how we appeared to you?

Man:
Yes, master. Rock should not walk. When children see
it they do not understand. Rock should not walk in the
evening.

Agmar:
There have been doubters of late. Are they satisfied?

Man:
Master, they are terrified. Spare us, master.

Agmar:
It is wrong to doubt. Go and be faithful.

{Exit Man.}

Slag:
What have they seen, master?
