SCENE
A HOARSE VOICE
There, missus! P'raps you'll have sense enough to lay there! I never did know a prudent female make such a commotion!
THE TROUBLED VOICE
Who is that?
THE GIRL
Whose voice is that?
THE TROUBLED VOICE
Is that you? Lydia?
THE GIRL
Robert? Is it Robert?
ROBERT
Yes. They've lashed me beneath a table--or it might be a bench--and it's bolted to the deck. What of you, Lydia?
LYDIA
My hands are tied behind me. My ankles are lashed together.
ROBERT
Villains!
LYDIA
ROBERT
I tried to come to you, Lydia!
LYDIA
Dear heart, I saw it!
ROBERT
LYDIA
No, no! Robert, don't you know where we are?
ROBERT
It hasn't the feel of our own ship.
LYDIA
No; we're in the other, Robert!
ROBERT
We are?
LYDIA
They dragged me across the rail and threw me here. This is the pirate ship, Robert.
ROBERT
Then may Providence have mercy on our souls!
LYDIA
ROBERT
Struggle? What could it boot? What booted anything? From our very sighting the strange sail we were done. No breeze for us in a flat sea--and he, with his great crew at oars, overhauling us; he came upon us like a shark to the body of a dead porpoise!
LYDIA
Hark! They're quiet now on the deck above us.
ROBERT
