Laz. Yes—but more in the light—more in the light. (With a somewhat sorrowful accent.)
Jav. Come (placing the portrait close to the light)—and silence.
Laz. Yes ... Carmen!...
Jav. (contemplating him for a while.) Thank God—asleep.
Dolores, Carmen, Don Juan, and Timoteo appear at the threshold
of the door at the back centre.
Car. May we come in?
Jav. Silence!
Car. It was to say good-night.
Jav. He is asleep. He worked a short time, but he was fatigued.
Car. Then let us not disturb him. Adieu, Javier. The light is in his eyes—you should lower the shade. Adieu. (Kissing Dolores.) Adieu, Don Juan.
