SCENE ELEVENTH

The Grand Inquisitor, Fontanares, Quinola and the Duke of Olmedo.

Quinola
It isn't a very healthy thing, this torture.

Fontanares
Quinola! And in what a livery!

Quinola
The livery of success, for you are to be freed.

Fontanares
Free? And to pass from hell to heaven in an instant?

The Duke of Olmedo
As martyrs do.

The Grand Inquisitor
Sir, do you dare to say such words in this place!

The Duke of Olmedo
I am charged by the king to take out of your custody this man, and
will answer for him to the Holy Inquisition.

The Grand Inquisitor
What a mistake!
