withblankets.)U.R.,but not obscuring the head of the bed along the backwall,is a table and three stools.The couches are occupied.The NUNsleeps beneath the window,the PRIORESS on the couch along the backwall and the WIFE OF BATH on the one R.Beneath the NUN's andPRIORESS's beds are neat black shoes and a habit and veil are laidacross the foot of the beds.Across the foot of the WIFE's bed is asplendid scarlet cloak and on the table a broad brimmed hat,rather likea cardinal's.From this bed comes loud snoring.There is just enoughlight to show us this.  \nAfter a few seconds a cock crows once or twice and the light brightensslightly.Suddenly a handbell is heard off,accompanied by vigorousknocking.  \n(off)Rouse up!Bestir yourselves.God's truth,wake up!  \nHOSTESS  \nMy masters,show a
