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.
