Sister Assumcion: Well ... as you will. I’ll take your message. Good-night ... Sir demon; are you not of Hell’s chivalry?
Don Manuel de Lara: No.
Sister Assumcion shrugs her shoulders, looks at him quizzically, and exit. A few minutes elapse, during which Don Manuel stands motionless; then Sister Pilar enters; she gives a slight bow and waits.
Don Manuel de Lara: You are Sister Pilar?
Sister Pilar: Yes.
Don Manuel de Lara: In the world the Lady Maria Guzman y Perez?
Sister Pilar: Yes.
Don Manuel de Lara: I am Don Pablo de Guzman, your father’s cousin’s son.
Sister Pilar (with interest): Ah! I have heard my father speak of yours.
