Isab. What! Donna Leonor d’Alvarado, come to Salvatierra?
Cas. Yes.
Isab. And for what purpose?
Cas. They say, to avenge her brother’s death. I myself have seen her conferring with Juan Baptista.
Isab. And what do you infer from that?
Cas. He is, they say, chief witness against Don Alonso and your brother, for this murder.
Isab. Against my brother too! O Casilda, is it not shameful that Juan Baptista should revenge with slanders behind my brother’s back whom he dares not meet face to face! Nay, that a traitor be revenged at all on him he has betrayed! thriving here at home while my brother is banisht!
Cas. But there’s something else. He charges your brother’s friend Manuel with murdering his men.
Isab. In proving which, my honour must be publicly canvassed and compromised!
Enter Pedro.
