Scene: The pier at Duncannon the same night. James and Carter talking together.
James: Upon my word, I am as glad to es- cape from that dark cellar as I was to get into it an hour ago.
Carter: I wonder how long Sarsfield will be away gathering his men.
James: It should take him a little time; but one never knows with him when he may appear. He makes me start up. He has no feeling for repose, for things at their proper time, for the delicate, leisurely life. He frets and goads me. He harries and hustles. I hear him now! (Starts.)
Carter: It is only the French sailors taking away another barrel of their meat from the cellar.
(French sailors enter from left, singing as before. They roll a barrel away to right.)
James: The long and the short of it is, it will not be my fault if I spend another night in this abominable island.
Carter: That is good news indeed.
