Four O’Clock
[ENSEMBLE]
Four o'clock
It will soon be four o'clock

[JAMES, spoken]
Stay in Ndothshéni, Stephen. 

[STEPHEN, spoken]
If I stayed, do you know what I would preach here? That good can come from evil, and evil from good. That we are all lost here on this rock, that goes around the sun without meaning. 

[JAMES, spoken]
Not without meaning, Stephen. For even out of the horror of this crime, some things have come that are gain and not loss. I shall never forget your son's face in the courtroom when he said he would not lie again, or do any evil. 

[STEPHEN, spoken]
And my son is forgiven? And I am forgiven?

[JAMES, spoken]
Let us forgive each other. Let us be friends.&nsbp;

[STEPHEN, spoken]
Before the clock strikes, I shall stay in Ndotshéni. I have a friend. 

[JAMES, spoken]
I have a friend.
