Ogre: (Outside door to left.) Open now the door
for myself.
1st Prince: No, we will get rid of him now. Let
the Grugach stay outside.
2nd Prince: That will be best. He cannot
break the bars of this door, or get round over the
high wall to the door on the other side.
3rd Prince: I am sore with the blows he put on
us, driving us before him through the wood.
4th Prince: Let us call to the Guardian, and let
him deal with him. He can bring his foot soldiers
and his guns.
5th Prince: A villain that Ogre is and a thief,
wanting to steal away the golden-handled sword.
But we would not tell him where it was, and he
never will find it under the step of the Judge's
chair. (Lifts top of step, takes out sword and puts it
back again.)
Ogre: (Outside.) Are ye going to open the door?
1st Prince: It is a great thing to have that
strong door between us.
2nd Prince: Take care would he break it in.
3rd Prince: No fear. It would make too much
noise. It would bring every person in the house
running.
