DIDIER.

Marquis Gaspard, you!

SAVERNY.

'Twas you
Who were somewhere, a certain night! 'Tis you
To whom I owe my life!

[He opens his arms. Didier draws back.

DIDIER.

Excuse surprise!
I felt so sure I took it back.

SAVERNY.

Not so!
You saved me—did not kill me! Let me know
What I can do for you. Do you desire
A second—brother—a lieutenant? Speak!
What will you have—my blood, my wealth, my soul?

DIDIER.
