Tertulla.
And now, O Deity, listen, while I reveal to you my great secret known only to Valentinus here!
Valentinus.
[Starting up, interposing.] Tertulla, forbear! Remember your vow!
Tertulla.
[Assenting.] Not without your permission to tell any living mortal! But....
Valentinus.
Then, till I give you leave, forbear!
Tertulla.
[Impetuously.] But, Valentinus ... that will not be breaking faith! Faunus is no mortal! Faunus is a god! Faunus, he has cured me! Valentinus here has cured me! I can see! I can see!
