[In a voice full of fear]: He, what is the matter with you?

He

It is death, Consuelo, my little Queen. I killed you. You are dying.

[He cries, loudly and bitterly. Consuelo with a scream, closes her eyes, and becomes silent and quiet. All are in terrible agitation. The Baron is motionless, and sees only Consuelo.]

Mancini

[Furious]: You are lying, rascal! Damned clown! What did you give her? You poisoned her! Murderer! Bring a doctor!

He

A doctor will not help. You are dying, my little Queen. Consuelo! Consuelo!

[Bezano rushes in, cries: "Briquet!" becomes silent and looks with horror at Consuelo. Somebody else comes in. Briquet is making gestures for someone to close the door.]
