Gil Andrès. None, Eminence. She has said nothing since she asked about Don Enrique. She appeared to care less about her own delivery than about his.
Ximénès. Is she there?
Gil Andrès. Yes, Your Eminence.
Ximénès. Go get her! (Gil Andrès goes out at left with his two aides. To Padilla) Your Excellency may sit down. The Tribunal authorizes you to assist in questioning. (Padilla bows. The Tribunal is installed. Ximénès sits on a chair before the other judges. Padilla is seated at the right on a stool lower than the platform. The notary sits at a little table behind him. The two physicians are seated on stools at the side of the platform near the iron door at the right. All wait.) My brothers, never more than at this hour had we a better reason for addressing God with our usual prayer: Dominie, auxilium, in reperienda veritate, sit nobis. Spiritus Sanctus, ad majorem Fidei gloriam.
All. Amen!
Ximénès. Exaudi nos, Domini.
All. Amen!
They seat themselves, Gil Andrès opens the iron door at the left.
Ximénès. (To Gil Andrès) Bring in the Mooress!
Zoraya is brought in through the iron door. With a gesture Gil Andrès compels her to advance into the middle of the scene where she stops and waits.
