Riders to the Sea
What instructions does “he” give to the other characters present before leaving?
MAURYA: (sitting down on a stool at the fire) He won't go this day with the wind rising from the south and west. He won't go this day, for the young priest will stop him surely.
NORA: He'll not stop him, mother, and I heard Eamon Simon and Stephen Pheety and Colum Shawn saying he would go.
MAURYA: Where is he itself?
NORA: He went down to see would there be another boat sailing in the week, and I'm thinking it won't be long till he's here now, for the tide's turning at the green head, and the hooker's tacking from the east.
CATHLEEN: I hear someone passing the big stones.
NORA: (looking out) He's coming now, and he in a hurry.
