Don Lorenzo. Poor child!—she also is struggling—but she will conquer. She is not my daughter for nothing.

[Utters this proudly. Inés and Edward go up the stage; passing the door of the closet, Inés sees the keepers, and makes a movement of horror.]

Inés. What sinister vision is it that frights my gaze? Those men? Oh, father, do not enter there.

Edward. Come, Inés, come.

Inés. [To her father.] No, no. I beseech you, father.

Don Lorenzo. [Going towards her.] Inés!

Inés. Those men—there—look! [Points to closet. Don Lorenzo stands and follows her eyes. At that moment the keepers, hearing her cry, lift the curtain and show themselves.]

Edward. [Leading Inés away.] At last!
