165. COLONEL'S ROOM IN CONSULATE. Roland is still talking to old mammy, who is describing what happened. Tom rushes in from Conwell's room, rushes to Roland and all out of breath points hand and says:
SP: "THE REVOLUTIONISTS PAID THE JAIL GUARD TEN PEZITS AND HE TURNED OVER THE KING AND HIS WHOLE GANG TO THEM!"
Roland is in despair at this news. Tom still panting, says:
SP: "THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT THEM ALL IN THE MORNING!"
Roland is utterly flabbergasted at this, looks bewildered at Tom and the old mammy and finally says to Tom that they have Rosalie in the palace and are going to make her marry Conwell. Tom is open mouthed at this news. At length Roland says:
SP: "THERE'S ONLY ONE CHANCE—WE MUST GO TO PORTO PUNKO AND GET THE MARINES!"
Tom and the old mammy are very much interested in this and urge him to try it and Roland asks mammy if she is all right. She says she is and tells them to go on. Tom and Roland beat it out toward the front. She looks after them.
