I will not believe you on any oath! I will only believe Sachel—Sachel, who could not deceive me—[turns to Sachel]—because you know that if you make me go away and kill myself Rafael will hate you, for ever and ever! Sachel, Sachel, can't we get him back? I'll do anything—anything. I'll become a Jewess if you'll get him back! Sachel, Sachel!

[Cries hysterically.

Aaron.

The poor girl wants your oath. That's a simple matter. [To Sachel.] There is no reason why I should stay here to witness this. Good-night!

[Exit by the bridge.

Sachel.

Such as you to kill yourself—h'm! Now take your money and be off! I'm going to lock my door.

Rosa.

You haven't said the marriage was false! You haven't said he went away! You haven't said he wants to many her—you dare not! It can't be true! It can't be true!

Sachel.
