be richer with my promise. (To Faustine Brancadori, who appears on the
balcony) Madame, the men are gone.


SCENE SEVENTH

Monipodio and Dona Lopez (at the door of the Lothundiaz Mansion.)


Dona Lopez
What is it you desire?

Monipodio
The brothers of our order have received tidings of your dear Lopez--

Dona Lopez
That he was living?

Monipodio
As you conduct the Senorita Marie to the convent of the Dominicans,
take a turn round the square; you will meet there an escaped Algerian
captive, who will tell you about Lopez.

Dona Lopez
Merciful heavens! Would that I could ransom him!

Monipodio
Be careful, first of all, when you approach on that subject; suppose
that he were a Mussulman?
