Don't, Didier, if you love me! They'll kill you!
Don't go!
DIDIER (jumping down into the street).
He is the one they're going to kill!
Poor man! [Outside, to combatants.
Stand off! Hold firmly, sir, and push!
[Clashing of swords.
[Noise of swords, voices, and footsteps.
MARION. (on the balcony, terrified).
Just Heaven! They are six 'gainst two!
VOICE IN THE STREET.
This man—he is the devil!
[The clashing of swords subsides little by little, then entirely ceases. The sounds of footsteps become indistinct. Didier reappears scaling the balcony.
