General—Remove thy veil.
(Cafour hesitates a moment, then throws back her veil. The Moors turn their backs, that they may not see her face.)
General—Thou art not a Moorish woman.
Cafour—I am Cafour, the Abyssinian, third wife of Hafiz the Moor.
General—What dost thou desire of me?
Cafour—I want to know of my son.
General—Thy son?
Cafour—It was he who jumped, there. (Points over the wall.)
Pedro—The boy who would not be a prisoner.
Cafour—Thou saidst "brave." Send down and see if he lives.
