Ped. Help! murder! help!
Enter Manuel.
Man. A soldier set upon my servant! stop, sir! how do you dare—Gil Perez!
Gil. Manuel!
Man. Why, did I not leave you in Portugal?
Gil. And I you at Salvatierra, engaged to me by solemn promise and old love to guard my honour there?
Man. We both have cause for wonder. I will tell you all; but first we must be alone.
Gil. Ay, another wonder; this fellow yours?
Man. In travelling hither we found him by the way, and took him.
Gil. Well, this saves your life for this time, sir: but, remember, you will not always have a friend at hand to do so much for you.
