Dolores. All Segura knows by this time.

(Enter Robledo door r., pushing through Villagers; Dolores tries to stop him; he pushes her aside, swaggering toward Jarvis.)

Robledo. So you're the brave American, Senor?

Jarvis. I'm an American. (Turning to Rusty on l.) Here's another one. (Rusty salutes.) We're both Americans.

Robledo. And you both want to die? (Rusty makes wry face and big eyes.)

Jarvis. (l.c.) Well, I'm not really anxious about it, Senor.

Robledo. Better keep out of the castle, then.

Jarvis. Oh, you mean that ghost? Oh, I'm not afraid of a little thing like that, Senor.

Robledo. No? (Turns to Dolores c.) Well, Senorita, we gentlemen of Segura will drink to your American. (To Jarvis) The maddest fool that ever came to Spain! (Robledo crosses to Dolores, chucks her under chin, laughing. Dolores throws his hand off; motions Villagers off, and exits after them. Jarvis and Rusty watch them off.)

Rusty. He's a nice man.
