El Capitan, Act II: “How can those peasants”

[PRINCESS, spoken]
How can those peasants rejoice when our poor dear husband is immured here? Don Cazarro, we beseech you. May we have an interview with our poor, unfortunate husband?

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Here comes the coup de grâce. 

[DON MEDIGUA pulls his hat down over his eyes so PRINCESS and ISABEL can't recognize him.]

[ESTRELLA, spoken, seeing this]
Capitan, what are you doing?

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
It's draughty here and I... I catch cold easily. 

[DON CAZARRO, spoken]
El Capitan? If you deem it advisable, will you permit the Princess to see her husband?

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
I do not deem it!

[PRINCESS, spoken]
O sir, we beg for mercy, mercy for our poor husband. 

[DON MEDIGUA, spoken]
Depart woman! Get thee gone.
