Mouzon. "They've got me." That is rather important.
Officer. And then he told his wife, in Basque, "Don't for the world let out that I left the house last night!"
Mouzon. He said this before the gendarme?
Officer. No, your worship—the gendarme was outside—close to an open window. Etchepare didn't see him.
Mouzon. You will have him cited as witness.
Officer. Yes, your worship. Then there's that witness for the defence too—Bridet.
Mouzon. Ah, yes—I have read the deposition he made in your presence. It's of no importance. Still, if he's there I'll hear him. Thank you. Well, draw up a report for me, in full detail, and make them give you the summonses for the witnesses.
Officer. Yes, your worship. [He salutes and goes out]
Scene IV:—Mouzon and Mondoubleau.
Mondoubleau. Monsieur Delorme is a fool.
