She throws herself into his arms. Exclamations from the crowd.
The People. A miracle! A miracle!
Calabazas. (Forcibly) Silence, people! (The crowd is intimidated.) No miracle is performed by Satan!
Padilla. (At the head of the steps) Go and thank God! (He places Joana in the hands of the nuns, who conduct her into the church. He turns to Zoraya.) Go in peace, Zoraya! And all of you let the Mooress depart. She is free! (To Ramiro.) Ramiro, see her safely home!
He enters the church followed by the Inquisitors. The organs intone the Te Deum. Enrique, under the portal, exchanges a look of farewell with Zoraya, who lingers, crossing to the alley. Before her, the crowd draws back in fright and spreads out at the entrance of the alley to let her pass. The monks quickly cross the scene and bar her egress. Zoraya turns to leave by the other street, but other monks quickly prevent her. All round her is a line of monks.
A Monk. Christians! are you going to let this daughter of Hell go free?
All. No! No!
They crowd upon Zoraya, who retreats toward the church. Enrique, who has seen the movement and heard the words, steps between her and the monks.
Enrique. Out of here, monks!—Make way!
The Monks. No! No! Seize the sorceress!
