ACT I

PEASANT [ploughing. Looks up] It's noon. Time to unharness. Gee up get along! Fagged out? Poor old beast! One more turn and back again that will be the last furrow and then dinner. It was a good idea to bring that chunk of bread with me. I'll not go home but sit down by the well and have a bite and a rest and Peggy can graze awhile. Then with God's help to work again and the ploughing will be done in good time.
