CAPTAIN. [Turns pale] It is Judith!
ALICE. And there is Holofernes!
CAPTAIN. And what are you?
ALICE. Soon you will see!
CAPTAIN. This is your doing!
ALICE. No!
CAPTAIN. [In a rage] This is your doing!
ALICE. No! [The Captain tries to rise and draw his sabre, but falls back, touched by an apoplectic stroke] There you got what was coming to you!
CAPTAIN. [With senile tears in his voice] Don't be angry at me—I am very sick——
ALICE. Are you? I am glad to hear it.
