Scene
1: The Nonnberg Abbey
Morning
Hymn and Alleluia
- The Holy Communion has already finished. All the nuns
walks out from the church, getting through the abbey to their dormitory tower.
Three of them are Mother Abbess, Sister Margaretta, Sister Berthe.
Mother Abbess: Relax, my dear. Have you checked outside?
Sister Margaretta: Yes, Mother. I have checked the
storehouses, the fountain, and around the postern gate… But she is nowhere to
find.
Sister Berthe: She is not in the chapel too, Mother.
Neither the refectory and her room. [sighs]
Oh. Where is she?
MA: Oh, well. Always the same everytime. [sighs] Maria…
SM-SB: [sighs] Maria…
Maria
Enters
M: [grumps] Okay. I know I am late.
MA: And where have you been, my dear?
SM: You missed the Holy Communion. Again.
M: [sighs] I am from… The hill, Mother.
SB: The hill again. What will happen if you get lost?
M: Oh, I will not get lost! I am the friend of the the
nature.
MA: [sighs] Maria, my child. There is something I want
to tell you, actually, Sisters you may leave now.
SM-SB: Yes, Mother.
SM: [to Maria] You are in trouble, young lady.
SM-SB
Leave
M: [deep breath] What is it, Mother? Will I… Get a
punishment? I know I have missed the Holy Communion twice already, and I am so
undisciplined and all…
MA: Ho. [gentle] No, that is not it, my dear. I see that
you still want to be free. Maybe the Abbey is not ready for you yet, Maria.
M: It is not? But… Then… I… But I am in my way to be a
nun, Mother!
MA: Yes, yes, I know you are. But, dear, you need time.
M: So… You mean that I have to wait?
MA: Yes. Hmmm. Well, there is actually a captain with
seven children who needs a governess.
M: SEVEN CHILDREN?!
MA: That is right. But they told me that three of them
have lived with their grandparents in Berlin, so there are just four who stay
with their father, here, actually.
M: Four! Oh! What a relief… But where is their mother?
Does she live with them too?
MA: Their mother died 5 years ago. That was the reason
why the captain quit from the navy.
M: Oh, dear. Poor children…
MA: Yes. They must be very lonely. So, have you guessed
your new duty?
M: Oh… Do I have to be their governess?
MA: Yes. You are going to be their governess until you
find yourself ready for this abbey.
M: Yes, Mother. I will.

announcement for you. I have to leave for Vienna tomorrow morning.
Children: Vienna, Really? Seriously, again? You always
go, just stay with us.
CG: May I know what is wrong with Vienna?
Li: It is not the place. It is you who cannot accompany
us tomorrow. Do you remember of our weekend-plan to watch the orchestra
together, father?
CG: I do, honey! This is sudden, I’ll make a deal with
you, and we’ll go after I’m back.
Children: Okay.
F: Are you going to see the Baroness again, Father?
CG: Yes. She will come with me when I am back on the

are already done before the dinner. Frauleine, please change your clothes, will
you? This one looks hideous.
