VILLAIN. We go forward to-night.
COMEDIAN. You have so decided?
VILLAIN. I have so decided, and that in itself should be enough for you; but due to an old habit I shall explain to you why I have so decided.
COMEDIAN. Keep your explanation to yourself and better not disturb my contemplation of the sunset.
VILLAIN. I'll put you down on the blacklist. It will go ill with you for your speeches against me. Now, then, without an explanation, we will go—and at once. [Nobody stirs.] Very well, then, I go alone.
WOMEN. No, no.
VILLAIN. What do you mean?
INGENUE. I go with you.
HEROINE. And I.
"Old Woman." And I.
