THE END OF THE THIRD ACT.
ACT IV
SCENE 1
Interior of a Posada frequented by BRAVOs, in an obscure quarter of
Burgos. FLIX at the fire, frying eggs. Men seated at small tables
drinking; others lying on benches. At the side, but in the front of the
Scene, some Beggars squatted on the ground, thrumming a Mandolin; a
Gipsy Girl dancing.
IV:1:1 A BRAVO.
Come, mother, dost take us for Saracens? I say we are true
Christians, and so must drink wine.
IV:1:2 ANOTHER BRAVO.
Mother Flix is sour to-night. Keep the evil eye from the olla!
IV:1:3 3RD BRAVO.
[advancing to her]
Thou beauty of Burgos, what are dimples unless seen? Smile! wench.
IV:1:4 FLIX.
A frying egg will not wait for the King of Cordova.
IV:1:5 1ST BRAVO.
Will have her way. Graus knows a pretty wife's worth. A handsome
hostess is bad for the guest's purse.
IV:1:6 1ST BRAVO.
[rising]
Good companions make good company. Graus, Graus! another flagon.
IV:1:7 2ND BRAVO.
Of the right Catalan.
IV:1:8 3RD BRAVO.
Nay, for my omelette.
IV:1:9 FLIX.
Hungry men think the cook lazy.
[Enter GRAUS with a Flagon of wine.]
IV:1:10 1ST BRAVO.
'Tis mine.
IV:1:11 2ND BRAVO.
No, mine.
IV:1:12 1ST BRAVO.
