ave it to drink his health. IV:1:74 A BRAVO. How call you him? IV:1:75 THE UNKNOWN. Oran, the Moor. IV:1:76 1ST BRAVO. [Jumping from his seat and approaching the Stranger.] My name is Guzman Jaca; my hand was in that business. IV:1:77 THE UNKNOWN. With the Moor and three of your comrades? IV:1:78 1ST BRAVO. The same. IV:1:79 THE UNKNOWN. And how came your quarry to fly next day? IV:1:80 1ST BRAVO. Very true; 'twas a bad business for all of us. I fought like a lion; see, my arm is still bound up; but he had advice of our visit; and no sooner had we saluted him, than there suddenly appeared a goodly company of twelve serving-men, or say twelve to fifteen-- IV:1:81 THE UNKNOWN. You lie; he walked alone. IV:1:82 1ST BRAVO. Very true; and if I am forced to speak the whole truth, it was thus. I fought like a lion; see, my arm is still bound up; but I was not quite his match alone, for I had let blood the day before, and my comrades were taken with a panic, and so left me in the lurch. And now you have it all. IV:1:83 THE UNKNOWN. And Oran? IV:1:84 1ST BRAVO. He fled at once. IV:1:85 THE UNKNOWN. Come, come, Oran did not fly. IV:1:86 1ST BRAVO. Very true. We left him alone with the Count. And now you have it all. IV:1:87 THE UNKNOWN. Had he slain him, the body would have been found. IV:1:88 1ST BRAVO. Very true. That's the difference between us professional performers, and you mere amateurs; we never leave the bodies. IV:1:89 THE UNKNOWN. And you can tell me nothing of him? IV:1:90 1ST BRAVO. No, but I engage to finish the Count, any night you like now, for I have found out his lure. IV:1:91 THE UNKNOWN. How's that? IV:1:92 1ST BRAVO. Every evening, about an hour after sunset, he enters by a private way the citadel. IV:1:93 THE UNKNOWN. Hah! what more? IV:1:94 1ST BRAVO. He is stagged; there is a game playing, but what I know not.
