Billy Budd (opera)
When Billy finds Squeak looking through his belongings he becomes angry and his stammer gets worse.  He knocks Squeak to the ground.  Claggart seems to be on Billy’s side, so he is not punished.  However, Claggart wants to be evil to Billy.  He gives some money to the Novice and tells him he should persuade Billy to start a mutiny, and that he should give Billy the money as a bribe.  The Novice does not dare to refuse.   Billy refuses the bribe and thinks he will be rewarded, but Dansker warns him that Claggart is dangerous.  Billy is too naïve to understand what Dansker is saying.   They sing a duet in which Billy sings how wonderful life is on the ship, and Dansker is trying to warn Billy about Claggart: “Jemmy-legs is down on you”.
