RUTH. Yes, greater than you know.
MARTIN. Ah!
RUTH. But you shall not take them. That's why I'm here. To stop you. You'll ruin all if this goes on to-night.
MARTIN. We'll ruin his factory.
RUTH. You'll bring black ruin on yourselves. Oh, listen to me, Martin. I know. I know. Guy's got the soldiers coming.
MARTIN (eagerly). They're coming here?
RUTH. Yes. Didn't you say you all met here below to-night?
MARTIN. Yes.
RUTH. Soldiers, Martin. Can you fight soldiers?
MARTIN. After to-night there'll be no factory to fight about.
