High-Priestess. Cora, recollect yourself, you are in a dream.
Cora. I have now laid open my whole soul. If the affection you bore the mother be indeed transferred to the daughter, you will be my friend.
High-Priestess. And the person you love is a Spaniard?
Cora. Yes.
High-Priestess. His name?—
Cora. Is Alonzo.
High-Priestess. When, and where, did you first see him?
Cora. In the Temple, by the side of our king.
High-Priestess. And what miracle brought you to a nearer intercourse?
Cora. The natural miracle which threatened the Temple with destruction, and rent asunder the walls by which it is enclosed.
