Act 1 — SCENE XIV

Don Lorenzo, Juana, and Dr. Tomás.

Dr. Tomás. Here she is—she is coming.

Juana. [Freeing herself.] Leave me—they are coming, and I do not wish them to see me.

Don Lorenzo. No—wait—I scarce know what I would say to you, but I have much to tell you.

Juana. Afterwards—Good-bye now, I can die content. I have called him son. [Exit slowly R. Don Lorenzo follows her, and Dr. Tomás stands watching them.]

Don Lorenzo. No, not yet. [Juana disappears behind curtain. Don Lorenzo would follow, but is detained by Dr. Tomás, and obliged to return to the middle of the stage.]
