Pepito. For three o'clock.

Julian. [Aside.] I'll kill him—yes, kill him. Come. [To Severo.]

Severo. Whither?

D. Julian. To look for this viscount.

Severo. Do you mean——?

D. Julian. I mean to do what I ought and can to avenge myself and save Don Juan of Acedo's son. Who are the seconds? [To Pepito.]

Pepito. Alcaráz and Rueda.

D. Julian. I know them both. Let him stay here [pointing to Pepito], so that in the event of Ernest's return——

Severo. Of course.

D. Julian. [To Pepito.] Without arousing his suspicion, find out where the duel takes place.
