"Yes, Turiddu—I warn you!" At that Lola laughed and went into the church.
"Now what have you done? By your folly, angered Lola. I am done with you!" Turiddu exclaimed, throwing off Santuzza, who held him back while she spoke. He became so enraged that he treated her brutally; and in trying to rid himself of her he threw her down upon the stones, and then ran into the church. When she got upon her feet again she was furious with anger.
"Now I will punish him for all his faithlessness," she sobbed, and she no sooner took this resolve than fate seemed to give her the means of carrying it out, for at that moment Alfio came back into the square.
"Oh, neighbour Alfio! God himself must have sent you here!"
"At what point is the service?"
"It is almost over, but I must tell you—Lola is gone to it with Turiddu."
"What do you mean by that?" Alfio demanded, regarding her in wonder.
"I mean that while you are about your business Turiddu remains here, and your wife finds in him a way to pass the time. She does not love you."
"If you are not telling me the truth," Alfio said, with anguish, "I'll certainly kill you."
"You have only to watch—you will know the truth fast enough," she persisted.
