[Block's squire, Jöns, returns from asking directions of a man who turns out to be long dead]
Did he show you the way?
Jöns
Not exactly.
Block
What did he say?
Jöns
Nothing really.
Block
Was he mute?
Jöns
No, milord. He was most eloquent.
Block
Indeed.
Jöns
Yes, eloquent. But the speech he held was gloomy. One has to say that.
