[_Enter_ CARLOS, ROQUE _and_ PANCHO. _They carry their school-books. A
noise is heard in courtyard._]
ROQUE (_stopping; listening_). There's stirring in the King's courtyard!
[_He runs to closed gates; peeps through a crack._]
CARLOS. Come, Roque, we shall be late to school.
ROQUE (_throwing down books_). Come, look! They are laying the red carpets
in the court!
PANCHO (_throwing down books; peeping_). 'T is for the King they lay them!
CARLOS. Come, the master will be angry.
ROQUE. But the King will soon be coming!
PANCHO. Let's wait and see him, Carlos!
CARLOS. Not I! I know how the master flogs! Yesterday I came late to
school.
PANCHO. Why were you late?
CARLOS. I stopped to watch the crazy Italian, Columbus.
[_He starts off; the others follow._]
ROQUE. I saw him once!
PANCHO. I wish I might see him!
CARLOS. There he comes now! (_Calling_.) _Loco!_[Footnote: Pronounced
_l[=o]'k[=o]_; Spanish for _crazy_.
