Can we offer you anything? Broiled rabbit and prickly pears-- (TANNER: Thank you: we have dined.) (to his followers) Gentlemen: business is over for the day. Go as you please until morning. The Brigands disperse into groups lazily. Some go into the cave. Others sit down or lie down to sleep in the open. A few produce a pack of cards and move off towards the road; for it is now starlight; and they know that motor cars have lamps which can be turned to account for lighting a card party. (STRAKER: Don't none of you go fooling with that car, d'ye hear?) No fear, Monsieur le Chauffeur. The first one we captured cured us of that.
