Man (appearing). Ay, do, if you can catch him.

Gil. Manuel,

Let them come up; I have no more to say.

And you and I, who walk’d in by the door,

Can jump out of the window.

Voices (within). Seize him! Seize him!

Judge. One word, Gil Perez; if you yield at once,

I’ll be your friend.

Gil. I make no friends of lawyers,

And never trust their promises.
