Don Lucas. I don’t know anything of the kind.

D. Alfonsa. Brother?...

Don Lucas. Do be quick and have done with it. You’ll all be the death of me.

D. Alfonsa. Well, I am a woman, and in love....

Don Lucas. The point at last.

D. Alfonsa. And with Don Pedro.

Don Lucas. All right.

D. Alfonsa. But he doesn’t love me; the treacherous wretch is courting Doña Isabel, and betraying both of us.

Don Lucas. I say, I don’t believe it.

D. Alfonsa. Well, you know, I often have fainting fits.
