The Captain: It lives. But I do not know whether it is a beast or a woman.
(He dismounts and taking her in his arms, lifts her from the ground.
Another Captain: Strange beings inhabit this mountain. This has the hide of a beast, the hair of a woman.
Tête-d'or: It is a woman, dying of thirst, poor creature! Give her my gourd.
(He hands them his gourd. They put it to her lips. She drinks and indicates by gestures that she can stand alone.
Tête-d'or: Who are you, young girl?
(She shakes her head, indicating by gestures that she does not understand.
A Captain: Doubtless she does not understand any language.
(She opens her mouth, indicating by gestures that she is hungry.
Tête-d'or: She is hungry. (He gives her a bit of black bread.)
