And where's the dagger that our Captain plied? Grigg:
(puzzled) He took it with him, sticking in his side. José:
(C.) Sancho has gone to betray the band. Grigg:
He has. Pursue him to the left. (aside) And I'll go to the right. José:
No. Sooner than fall into the hands of the soldiers, there's the train - Grigg:
Where? I'll take a ticket immediately. José:
The train of gunpowder - Grigg:
Good gracious! (falls against tall Ladrone, R.) José:
Which our late Captain laid in case of a surprise. To yonder cave we will retire, apply a slow match - Grigg:
The slower the better. José:
And all perish together. Inez:
Together. All:
'Tis the law of the Ladrones! All raise arms. Movement towards the Cavern. Enter from Cavern, R. H., Rita. Rita:
(innocently) What's going on? José:
Seize her. (Inez left.) Comrades, the treachery of Sancho is a punishment deserved by us, because we have not avenged the fate of Ferdinand di Roxas. There stands our victim. Page Created 15 February 2004 |
