After the service, Sister Bernice runs up to tell the Reverend Mother, Sister Bertha, and Sister Margareta that someone named Sister Maria is missing.
The trio goes to another group of nuns and asks what they think of Maria. It seems that Maria is delightful, but kind of a pain/irresponsible and "not an asset to the abbey."
They launch into cheerful song wondering how to solve a problem like Maria.
As they're finishing up the song, the woman from the hilltop, who seems to be this Sister Maria, comes rushing in.
When she sees the other nuns, she slows down and walks away.
