They talk about, among other things, the meeting of a beloved hero on the edge of a copse and about places he has visited (ruins of a villa, portrait gallery, post office).

Each of the votes occurs in the play twelve times. Then there are three parts. The intervals between them set pauses. The voices are called in the following order:
