Paquita
Senora, your orders have been most exactly carried out by Monipodio.
Senorita Lothundiaz has just been informed by her duenna, of the peril
which threatens Senor Fontanares this evening.
Faustine
Sarpi must be here by this time. Tell him I wish to speak to him.
(Exit Paquita.)
SCENE NINTH
Faustine (alone) We must baffle the plans of Monipodio. Quinola fears he has received the order to get rid of Fontanares; it is too bad that there should be ground for such a fear.
SCENE TENTH
Faustine and Don Fregose.
Faustine
Your arrival is timely, senor, I wish to ask a favor of you.
Don Fregose
Say, rather, that you wish to confer one on me.
Faustine Monipodio must disappear from Barcelona—yea, and from Catalonia, within two hours; send him to Africa.
