(Drawing from his pocket a long blue revolver)
Halt!
The first man puts his foot inside that gate
I'll kill him.
Voice.
(Right as before, now near by)
One word before you go in there!
(Harry Egerton enters breathless)
Harry Egerton.
Pardon me; I have run some seven miles
To be here ere the sun went down, for I
Knew what it meant to you.
(Stands for a moment collecting himself)
Men, my friends,
What is it you are about to do?
