PAUDEEN. It is with that banner we will march and the lads in the quarry with us; it is they will have the welcome before him! It won't be long till we'll be attacking the Square House! Arms there are in it; riches that would smother the world; rooms full of guineas--we will put wax on our shoes walking them; the horses themselves shod with no less than silver! MARTIN [_holding up the banner_]. There it is ready! We are very few now, but the army of the Unicorns will be a great army! [_To_ JOHNNY B.] Why have you brought me the message? Can you remember any more? Has anything more come to you? Who told you to come to me? Who gave you the message?... Can you see anything or hear anything that is beyond the world? JOHNNY B. I cannot. I don't know what do you want me to tell you at all. MARTIN. I want to begin the destruction, but I don't know where to begin ... you do not hear any other voice? JOHNNY B. I do not. I have nothing at all to do with freemasons or witchcraft. PAUDEEN. It is Biddy Lally has to do with witchcraft. It is often she threw the cups and gave out prophecies the same as Columcille. MARTIN. You are one of the knowledgeable women. You can tell me where it is best to begin, and what will happen in the end. BIDDY. I will foretell nothing at all. I rose out of it this good while, with the stiffness and the swelling it brought upon my joints. MARTIN. If you have foreknowledge, you have no right to keep silent. If you do not help me, I may go to work in the wrong way. I know I have to destroy, but when I ask myself what I am to begin with, I am full of uncertainty. PAUDEEN. Here now are the cups handy and the leavings in them. BIDDY [_taking cups and pouring one from another_]. Throw a bit of white money into the four corners of the house. MARTIN. There! [_Throwing it._] BIDDY. There can be nothing told without silver. It is not myself will have the profit of it. Along with that I will be forced to throw out gold. MARTIN. There is a guinea for you. Tell me what comes before your eyes. BIDDY. What is it you are wanting to have news of? MARTIN. Of what I have to go out against at the beginning ... there is so much ... the whole world, it may be. BIDDY [_throwing from one cup to another and looking_]. You have no care for yourself. You have been across the sea; you are not long back. You are coming within the best day of your life. MARTIN. What is it? What is it I have to do? BIDDY. I see a great smoke, I see burning ... there is a great smoke overhead. MARTIN. That means we have to burn away a great deal that men have piled up upon the earth. We must bring men once more to the wildness of the clean green earth. BIDDY. Herbs for my healing, the big herb and the little herb; it is true enough they get their great strength out of the earth.
