Margaret, there’s but one course. My men suspect me.
Of those who held this secret, I alone
Was absent. Manuel’s shelter, my escape,
Thy presence here, all point alike at me. 1880
I could not say farewell! When thou hast this
I am gone. I ride to join my men in prison.
Mar. Ah! ah! I knew it, I knew it! what have I done? [Sinks down.
Lu. Mistress, my dearest mistress!
