Doña Ángela. We know it.
Don Lorenzo. [Looking at both.] You know it. And do you likewise know that I am about to have a legal act drawn up containing my formal declaration and renunciation?
Doña Ángela. Yes, Lorenzo.
Don Lorenzo. So that the judge may then ordain as the law directs? Is it not so?
Dr. Tomás. It is natural.
Don Lorenzo. [To Doña Ángela.] What do you say to it?
Doña Ángela. [In weeping voice.] If this wealth we now enjoy is not legally yours—you do well.
Dr. Tomás. If the name you bear is not yours, you must certainly give it up.
Doña Ángela. In any case your will is law.
Don Lorenzo. Yes, but a tyrannical law, an impious law—eh?
