Ernest. Where?

Severo. In here.

Pepito. Yes.

Ernest. No. [Strides back, and stands before the door. The group are on the point of lifting Don Julian, desist, and stare at Ernest in indignant surprise.]

Severo. You forbid it?

Pepito. Are you mad?

Severo. Back: can't you see he is dying?

D. Julian. What is it? He doesn't wish it? [Raises himself and looks at Ernest in distrust and fear.]

Reuda. I don't understand it.

Pepito. Nor I.
