SBRI. Be quick, I tell you; don't waste time; you would be happy,
would you not, if you were hanged?

MR. POUR. Ah! (_Gives more money to_ SBRIGANI.)

SBRI. (_to the_ OFFICER). Here, Sir.

OFF. (_to_ SBRIGANI). I must go off with him, for I should not
be in safety here after this. Leave him to me, and don't stir from
this place.

SBRI. I beg of you to take the utmost care of him.

OFF. I promise you not to leave him one moment till I see him safe.

MR. POUR. (_to_ SBRIGANI). Farewell! This is the first honest
man I have found in this town.




SCENE VIII.--ORONTE, SBRIGANI.

SBRI. (_affecting not to see_ ORONTE). Ah! What a strange
adventure! What terrible news for a father! Poor Oronte, how much I
pity you! What will you say? How will you ever be able to bear with
such a misfortune?

ORO. What is it? Of what misfortune do you speak?
