Laz. (going towards her and calling). Mother!
Car. They are coming now.
Laz. Several are coming. I did not say so many. I shall have to defend myself, and, to defend myself I need to have much courage. (Drinks a glass.)
Car. Quick! Here! Dolores!
Enter Dolores and Don Juan.
Dol. Why did you call? Is it that Lazarus——?
Juan. What’s the matter with Lazarus?
Laz. Nothing; Carmen was frightened—I don’t know why, and she called.
Car. He seems better. Lazarus, they are here now. Do you wish me to remain also?
Laz. Why not? Yes, everybody about me. As we were downstairs. My mother, my father, sweet little Carmen, I! There’s one short—ah! Paca. I still keep my memory. (Laughing.) Well, yes, we are short of Paca. Ha! Let us sit down as we were before, and let us wait till the day arrives. It is now about to dawn. Look, look what brightness there is in the distance. A great sitting up! And why are we sitting up?
