Don Lucas and Don Luis.
Don Luis. I tell you—yesterday at Illescas she departed from her mute coyness and, quitting her chamber, came to discourse with me under the porch, where she told me she would be my bride with all her heart, and that her hand was bestowed upon you against her will. If this be truth, why separate two loving souls?... I hold you for a man of mind, and therefore come to demand....
Don Lucas. No more, for by the devil, I’ll pay you out....
D. Alfonsa. (knocking without). Is my brother here?
Don Lucas. Into my bedroom, quick, I must see my sister.
Don Luis. Let me know first if my life and liberty are secure!
Don Lucas. Be off with you, ther time enough to look after your life and liberty.
[Exit Don Luis.
Don Lucas and Doña Alfonsa.
D. Alfonsa. Brother?
