Padilla. Tell the truth!
Zoraya. But, I told it!—I told the truth!
Ximénès. (Whispering in her ear) No!—there is one thing which you have not admitted—one thing, alone—which will make him innocent of all crime!
Padilla. And save him from all punishment!
Ximénès. The cause of his madness!
Padilla. Madness due to your witchcraft!
Albornos. And your philters!
Ximénès. And your poisons!
All are silent for an instant, during which Zoraya looks at them stupefied.
Zoraya. Ah! I understand!—I understand! (The Inquisitors are silent) You want me to save him? Yes, it is true! It is true! If I have made him mad with some kind of a philter, he is unconscious of his acts! He is not guilty! He is more my accomplice! He is my victim! That is what you want, is it not?—Is it not?
