The elders appear to have concluded their conference, and are<br />
filing out. Stoltzfus pauses at bedside.<br />
STOLTZFUS<br />
Rest, Mr. Book. That's the ticket. And<br />
drink my of my tea.<br />
He goes. Book is still fending off the dizziness. Rachel puts the<br />
teacup to his lips.<br />
BOOK<br />
Tell him his tea stinks.<br />
RACHEL<br />
(smiles)<br />
You tell him. When you're able.<br />
He looks like he's about to drop off again. Rachel rises.<br />
RACHEL<br />
(from the door)<br />
We're all very happy that you're going to<br />
live, JohnBook. We didn't quite know what<br />
we were going to do with you if you died.<br />
That penetrates for a moment just before Book slips into sleep<br />
again.<br />
INT. LAPP LIVING ROOM – DAY<br />
As the rather worrisome Hershberger frowns:<br />
HERSHBERGER<br />

TSCHANTZ<br />
It is not the first time we have done<br />
this. In the Englischer war of the<br />
revolution, old Elmer Miller's grandfather<br />
took in gunshot English soldiers.<br />
(a tad of pride)<br />
Saved them, too.<br />
They all nod. What Tschantz says is well known. Then:<br />
ERB<br />
Still, he should be among his own people.<br />
Rachel enters on this last.<br />
RACHEL<br />
He'll leave as soon as he is able. He<br />
already wants to go.<br />
Hershberger gives her a gloomy look, turns to Stoltzfus:<br />
HERSHBERGER<br />
How long will that be, Stoltzfus?
