Faustine
What devils have you called in to assist you?
Quinola
The three children of Job: Silence, Patience and Perseverance.
(Exeunt Fontanares and Quinola.)
SCENE NINETEENTH
Faustine and Don Fregose.
Don Fregose (aside)
She is hateful, and yet I do not cease to love her.
Faustine
I must have my revenge. Will you assist me?
Don Fregose
Yes, and we will yet succeed in bringing him to ruin.
Faustine
Ah! you love me in spite of all, don't you?
Curtain to the Fourth Act.
ACT V
SCENE FIRST
(The setting is the terrace of the town-hall of Barcelona, on each
side of which are pavilions. The terrace looks on the sea and ends in
a balcony in the centre of the stage; the open sea and the masts of
vessels form the scenery. At the right of the spectator appear a large
arm-chair and seats set before a table. The murmur of an immense crowd
is heard. Leaning over the balcony Faustine gazes at the steamship.
Lothundiaz stands on the left, in a condition of utter stupefaction;
Don Fregose is seated on the right with his secretary, who is drawing
up a formal account of the experiment. The Grand Inquisitor is
stationed in the middle of the stage.)
Lothundiaz, the Grand Inquisitor and Don Fregose.
Don Fregose
I am undone, ruined, disgraced! Even if I were to fall at the feet of
the king, I should gain no pity from him.
