LION.
Are we one, comrades?
ALL.
We're one! We're one!
A VOICE.
Ask him to release us, Sam!
(_Donald Egerton, with Governor Braddock and Bishop Hardbrooke at his heels, comes hurriedly through the centre door right_)
DONALD EGERTON.
(_Peering about, sees the Figures_)
What does this mean? Back to the walls!
LION.
We are the walls!
FIGURES.
We are the walls!
DONALD EGERTON.
I made you what you are!
LION.
That's true!
And we made you!
FIGURES.
And we made you!
LION.
We made each other!
You are our father and we your mother!
FIGURES.
That's true! That's true!
LION.
And now make us as we made you!
GOVERNOR BRADDOCK.
Be careful, Colonel Egerton.
See that one there with axe uplifted!
DONALD EGERTON.
Braddock, as a citizen of this commonwealth I call upon you to enforce the laws!
GOVERNOR BRADDOCK.
My friends and fellow citizens.
This is unwise, this course you are pursuing, And cannot in the end but injure you.
The laws were made for these disputes, And you like others must obey.
LION.
He made the laws!
FIGURES.
He made the laws!
DONALD EGERTON.
Hear that, Braddock! This is anarchy!
GOVERNOR BRADDOCK.
I urge you to go peaceably to your homes!
LION.
Our homes?
FIGURES.
What homes?
LION.
We have no homes!
(_Egerton says something to the Governor_)
GOVERNOR BRADDOCK.
