NINTH SCENE.

THE MARSHAL. THE PAINTER. THE MARQUISES (in the background).

The Marshal.

I thank you, sir! The mists are dissipated. The eye sees clearly once more; the will has a free hand.

The Painter.

But I was silently executed. Did you notice her look?

The Marshal (pointing at The Marquises).

Of looks, there are sufficient.

The Painter (snatching up his sword).

Oho! I am always expecting foul play.
