[LINDENSCHMIED hurries across the stage on the rocky path. ROBERT follows him below.]
ANDREW (totters after him).
Be careful, Robert! The man is desperate—it is a matter of life and death.

ROBERT (also behind the scenes).
Down with your gun, and stand!
ANDREW.
He is taking aim—jump aside, Robert!
[Two shots are heard in succession.]
