dangerous person.

_Mr. H_. I thank you, professor. [_Exit_ PRO. T.

_J. N_. Prisoner, do you want to re-examine the witnesses? What's that

["_Marseillaise_" _again without, and tumult nearer_. FREEMAN _listens
intently, without heeding the_ JUDGE.

_J. F_. I was listening, Judge; I thought I heard that echo again.

_J. N_. Echo again! What does the fellow mean? It's my belief you're

_A Voice_. Look out for _your_ courage, old cockywax; you may have
something to try it presently!

_J. N_. Officer, arrest that pernicious foreigner.

[USHER _promenades once more_.

_J. N_. (_Aside_: I don't like it: I'm afraid there is something going to
happen.) (_To Court_) Mr. Hungary.
