No! No!
A crash and sound of breaking glass are heard in the room.
EXT-WITCHES” VALLEY – SAME SUMMER NIGHT
The fog band moves away from the open window of the bedroom towards the Witches’ Valley. In the moonlight it seems magical glow.
INT – TEACHER’S BEDROOM – SAME NIGHT
Frightened Mina appears in the room. The teacher sits in the bed and looks at the sister.
The broken glass decanter lies on the floor next to the bed in a puddle of water
MINA
(grumbling)
Why shouting, you have broken the decanter!
The teacher looks at the desk suspiciously: the nenufare dies helplessly in its glass. The teacher mops his brow slowly
TEACHER
(smiles, embarrassed)
Only a dream.
MINA
(picks up the pieces from the floor)
Scared to death.
INT – TEACHER’S BEDROOM IN THE TEACHER’S HOUSE-MORNING
There is no nenufare in the glass on the desk anymore. The teacher looks at the empty glass half awake
TEACHER
May it be a spirit of a suicide?
INT-DINING ROOM IN THE TEACHER’S HOUSE – SAME MORNING
The teacher enters the dining room on the ground floor. Mina puts dishes for breakfast on the table
TEACHER
Mina, have you seen the flower in my bedroom?
MINA
(puts the dishes)
The faded one? I’ve thrown it away.
TEACHER
(sits at the table)
Pity, I got used to it.
MINA
(stops and looks at her brother)
You are pale in the morning.
TEACHER
Just sleepy.
MINA
(continues putting the dishes)
You know, Heinrich has become an assistant to the church watchman.
TEACHER
Ah…
MINA
(puts pies in front of the brother)
Eat, I’ve baked in the morning.
She sits down in front of him, pours out tea
TEACHER
(bites off a pie)
My favourite. Thank you.
MINA
(pours out tea)
