Enrique. He can blaspheme me if I have the infamy to deliver up the woman whom I love.—And I would deserve the insults of all the scullions of the city!
Zoraya. No! No! (To Cardenos) Do not listen to him. Take me away.
Cardenos places his hand on her.
Enrique. (Stepping between them) Scoundrel! Do not touch this woman!
Cardenos. Do you refuse to let her go?
Enrique. I dare to say yes.
Cardenos. If there is a disturbance and a scandal it will be only because you have wanted it!
He turns to go out. Enrique steps forward between him and the door, putting his hand on his shoulder.
Enrique. Where are you going?
Cardenos. Where I please.
