LAF. Yes.
DUV. (to Bella.) Well, I will give my consent.
BEL. On one condition: that she give up her faith in Lizbette and her practices.
BELLA. Dominique told you about that, but—I promise. (exeunt Bella, Dominique, Duval and Beluche.)
MAR. Do you think Pedro will be caught?
LAF. (lovingly.) It would not matter if he were.
