A Voice
Coal-black, and headed like cats, they came up over the strand.
Another Voice
And I saw one stretch to a torch and cover it with his hand.
Another Voice
Another sooty fellow has plucked the moon from the air.
[A light gradually comes into the house from the sea, on which the moon begins to show once more. There is no light within the house, and the great beams of the walls are dark and full of shadows, and the persons of the play dark too against the light. The Red Man is seen standing in the midst of the house. The black cat-headed Men crouch and stand about the door. One carries the Helmet, one the great sword]
Red Man
I demand the debt that’s owing. Let some man kneel down there
That I may cut his head off, or all shall go to wrack.
