SCENE VI
Teodora and Doña Mercedes. Teodora enters timidly, and stands near Don Julian's door on the right, listening anxiously, and muffling her sobs with her handkerchief.
Mercedes. Teodora.
Teodora. It is you. [Advances to her.]
Mercedes. Courage! what good does crying do?
Teodora. How is he? how is he? the truth!
Mercedes. Much better.
