Ordonio (starting). Duped! duped! duped!—the traitor Isidore!
[At this instant the doors are forced open, Monviedro and the Familiars of the Inquisition, Servants, &c., enter and fill the stage.
Monviedro. First seize the sorcerer! suffer him not to speak!
The holy judges of the Inquisition
Shall hear his first words.—Look you pale, Lord Valdez?
Plain evidence have we here of most foul sorcery. [140]
There is a dungeon underneath this castle,
And as you hope for mild interpretation,
Surrender instantly the keys and charge of it.
Ordonio (recovering himself as from stupor, to Servants). Why
haste you not? Off with him to the dungeon!
[All rush out in tumult.
