SCENE SEVENTH
Monipodio and Dona Lopez (at the door of the Lothundiaz Mansion.)
Dona Lopez
What is it you desire?
Monipodio
The brothers of our order have received tidings of your dear Lopez—
Dona Lopez
That he was living?
Monipodio As you conduct the Senorita Marie to the convent of the Dominicans, take a turn round the square; you will meet there an escaped Algerian captive, who will tell you about Lopez.
Dona Lopez
Merciful heavens! Would that I could ransom him!
Monipodio Be careful, first of all, when you approach on that subject; suppose that he were a Mussulman?
Dona Lopez
Dear Lopez! I must go and prepare the senorita for her journey.
(Dona Lopez re-enters the house.)
