THE VAMPIRE
Second Soldier.
Well, if there are no petticoats, where’s the harm
In letting us poor soldiers take a squint
Through yonder door? By God, we’ll do it, too!
Come on, my boys.
(They make a rush towards the room.)
Nanko.
Be careful, or you’ll smash
The Christmas-tree! You’ll smash the gramophone!
(A soldier tries the bedroom door. It is opened from within, and Rada appears on the threshold with the revolver in her hand.)
First Soldier.
Liars! Liars!
Rada.
