Fulv. Rely, sir, on my care and vigilance.
[Exeunt Don Pedro and Fulvio.
Enter Don Julio and Don Fernando, as in the outward room of the inn.
Don J. It is a quarter
Always reserv'd to my own privacy.
There lying unsuspected, if, whilst I
Continue late abroad, under pretence
Of being at Violante's, you keep watch
Carefully within, he cannot 'scape us:
So you be sure to observe punctually
The sign agreed, and bolting of the doors,
When he is once within.
Don F. Since you have so resolv'd and laid your business,
Dispose of me, and lead the way, whilst I
Give Fabio his instruction what to do
During my absence. [Exeunt Fernando and Julio.
Enter Donna Blanca and Francisca, as in Blanca's antechamber.
Fran. Since the black cloud, that threaten'd you last night
With such a storm, is luckily blown over
Without a sprinkling, I hope, madam, you
Will imitate the Fates, and grow serene
From all those clouds which so much threaten'd others.
Blan. Ah! Francisca, canst thou—
[She stops, seeing Elvira coming.
Enter Elvira, with a fine basin of flowers.
