Act 2
Dialogue following Song No. 13
José:
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.
