Zoraya. Ah! it is there?
Fatoum. Yes, where the windows are lighted.
Zoraya. (Looking about) And he!—Where is he?
Fatoum. He?

While dance music is being played, the great double door of the chamber is thrown open—the guests crowd to the windows. The women arrange themselves at the left of the patio, the men at the right. Doña Joana comes out of the chamber, followed by her female attendants. As she descends, she is saluted by the women, who make courtesies before her, and by the cavaliers, who bow.
