Col. You shall not go away—you are caught—one of us has to remain here.
Pul. Very well, you remain, and I will go away.
Col. You pretend not to understand me. I mean that one of us has to remain here dead.
Pul. Oh! dead?
Col. Certainly.
Pul. Well, do you remain dead, and then we shall be all right.
Col. Who is to kill me?
Pul. I, if you wish.
Col. No, I do not wish. I shall defend myself to the utmost.
Pul. Come, let’s say no more about it. Is it worth while to kill a man for the sake of a woman?
