Ximénès. Your father, it appears, was a genuine necromancer?
Zoraya. That is the calumnious assertion of ignoramuses, who interpret as diabolical everything which surpasses their own knowledge.
Ximénès. He left you the knowledge of his art of healing?
Zoraya. Yes, Your Eminence.
Ximénès. Without magic?
Zoraya. Yes, without magic.
Ximénès. You are accused of improper relations with Don Enrique Palacios. The charge is not doubted, as your accomplice has confessed.
Zoraya. Neither do I deny it.
Ximénès. You know, of course, that for you awaits the dungeon and for him the galleys!
Zoraya. Love is stronger than fear!
