Cha. Not now,
Nor ever. I am here by pledge, to meet—
A friend.

[Masio enters lower right]

Señ. Is this—the man?

Cha. No, but I know him.
He's seeking me, I think.

Señ. I'll leave you then.

Cha. [Seizing her hands] Nothing to Hernda!

Señ. Nothing. You and she
For what may come. [Goes in]

Cha. You, Masio? From Famette?

Mas. No, from the camp.

Cha. The camp! But she is there?
