Capt. All works well; there is now only the old father at home, who can easily be disposed of. It only needs that he who brought me this good news help me to use it.
Reb. Me do you mean, sir? So I will, to the best of my power.
Capt. Good; you shall go with me.
Serg. But if Don Lope should happen on you?
Capt. He is himself obliged to set off to Guadalupe this evening, as the king is already on the road. This I heard from himself when I went to take his orders. Come with me, Sergeant, and settle about the troops marching, and then for my own campaign.
[Exeunt Captain and Sergeant.
Chis. And what am I to do, Rebolledo, meanwhile? I shan’t be safe alone with that fellow whose face I sent to be stitcht by the barber.
Reb. Ah, how to manage about that? You wouldn’t dare go with us?
Chis. Not in petticoats; but in the clothes of that run-away stable boy? I can step into them free of expense.
