e, Senor! When?

ROBLEDO. Tonight! Don't stand and stare. Hurry up and see to my horse.

PEDRO. Yes, Senor. Yes, Senor. (_Exit door_ L.C. DOLORES _entering_ R.)

DOLORES. Yes, Father? (_Sees_ ROBLEDO.) Oh, it's you.

ROBLEDO. (_Pause--cross toward her_) Well, well! Can't you say you're
glad to see me?

DOLORES. I can, but I won't. Where's my father?

ROBLEDO. Never mind your father. I want to talk to you.

DOLORES. You do? Well, you won't in that tone. (_Start to cross left._)

ROBLEDO. (Intercepting her C.) I won't hey?--And why not? You little
spit-fire!

DOLORES. What do you want to say to me?

ROBLEDO. You little devil! (_She starts away; he grasps her wrist._)
Come here! (_Throws her quickly and easily around stage_ L., _still
holding her wrist._) Say, what's come over you these days? You are about
as fond of me and as sweet tempered as a tigress. What have I done?

DOLORES. It is what you have not done, Don Robledo. For fifteen days
your Prince has been in need of you and you have not had the courage to
go to him. (_Enter_ MAXIMO _door_ R. _and beckons_ GASPAR _and_
VILLAGERS _up_.) Let go my wrist! (_Struggling._ MAXIMO, GASPAR _and_
VILLAGERS _watch end of scene_.) Let go my wrist!

ROBLEDO. Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You can't get away. Do not try.
(_She strikes him, frees herself and crosses_ L. _to window_.) You
little cat, I'll trim those claws! (VILLAGERS _laugh_. MAXIMO _nudges_
GASPAR.)

GASPAR. Sh! sh! sh! Look out!

ROBLEDO. (_To them_) Well, what are you laughing at?

MAXIMO. Why, why---- (_Stammering._)

GASPAR. A jest in the wine room, Senor.

ROBLEDO. Huh! Lucky for you! Get out of my way! (_Pushes them aside and
swaggers through door_ R.)

DOLORES. Gaspar! Maximo! Come here quickly!

MAXIMO. (_Crossing to_ DOLORES) What is it?

GASPAR. What is the matter? (_Crossing to_ DOLORES.)

DOLORES. A light! A light in the castle!

GASPAR. I thought I saw it a while ago.

MAXIMO. I don't see it.

DOLORES. But I tell you I did see it. (_She runs_ R.C., _calling_)
Father--Father--come quickly.

PEDRO. (_Entering_ R.) What is it? What are you looking at? (_Cross_ C.)

DOLORES. (L.C., _pointing out window_) A light--a light in the castle.
I saw it!

PEDRO. (_Going to window_) Nombre de Dios. (MAXIMO _and_ GASPAR _back
to_ L.C.)

DOLORES. (C. _to_ GASPAR _and_ MAXIMO) Well, why don't you do something?
Are you going to stand there like scared sheep, and let a man, your
Princ
