[A kind of wailing chant is heard a little distance down the roadway. It is immediately echoed, with a difference, from the opposite direction, and two processions of suppliants advance and meet in the highway before the almshouse. The leader of one procession wears a broad cloak of embroidered yellow silk; the leader of the other wears a long, close black coat. The one procession depends chiefly upon a big purple banner; the other upon a multitude of little black books. The one is joined by the Householder and his daughter; the other by the Householder's wife.] The Campaigner .

[The people of the two processions have attacked one another with staves. Villagers flock out of the neighboring cottages, and many brethren issue from the almshouse itself, while others, in various stages of disability, look out through its windows. All immediately take sides, as prompted by prejudice, association, early education. The Devotee enters into the struggle with a hearty good will, while the Campaigner , beating upon his bench with his crutch, encourages both sides with his shrill crow. The Householder is belabored by his own wife, whose clothing, in turn, is torn by her enraged stepdaughter.] The Devotee ( shouting back to his associates from the edge of the press ).
