Fatoum. Her marriage! In order to have her visit you we have taken advantage of a journey to the convent of Mercy on this beautiful morning to ask the benediction of the abbess.
Zoraya. The convent of Mercy!—In it is confined the poor creature who loved Kalem, whom they stoned to death.
Fatoum. I do not know.
Zoraya. I, myself, know it—and I shall tell Joana my price for healing her—Let her enter!
Aisha and Fatoum go out and return, bringing in Joana.
Scene Seven
The same persons and Doña Joana
Joana enters, timid, frightened and supported in Fatoum’s arms.
Zoraya. (Kindly) Do you not fear, señorita, to come into a pagan’s home?
Joana. Fatoum has told me that you are charitable. That is the law of the Gospel!
