Behind the fallen fence dust is stirred and then soldiers surrounding a horse-carriage are seen). (Silence) .. The horse-carriage appears on the stage. It can be seen clearly after the dust dissipates. A group of soldiers holding their swords and wearing the shields surround it. A man gets off the horse-carriage. He looks exhausted from travelling. His face is almost covered with dust. He holds some food and drink, and shouts): Carriage Driver: We have brought you wine and plenty of food.
