ZORAYA. And if they should watch for you on the other side of the
river?
ENRIQUE. Do not dream of that!--Fear nothing!
ZORAYA. Oh! I fear everything just now, those men--and for you!
ENRIQUE. For me?
ZORAYA. Yes! Yes! For either of us, who knows? Last night I had a
menacing dream! You entered by that door! I ran to you! You were
nothing but a shadow, a vapor which dissolved in my arms!
ENRIQUE. What folly!--A dream!
ZORAYA. All dreams are not lies! If this one should be true, what
then?--Do assure me that you are not going away to forsake me!
ENRIQUE. Oh!
ZORAYA. For another!
ENRIQUE. Hush! Hush!
ZORAYA. I would kill you first!--No, no! Do not believe that! Pardon
me for saying that--I have suffered so much during these last two
days. And such bad omens! When do we meet again?
ENRIQUE. God knows when! So soon as we can without danger.
ZORAYA. Here?
ENRIQUE. Oh, no!
ZORAYA. Where then?
ENRIQUE. I shall advise you.
ZORAYA. (In his arms) And how shall I know?
ENRIQUE. That will be arranged!--And, until I come, my dear love,
believe nothing, do you hear!--nothing, only in my love for you! (The
bells begin to ring again.)
ZORAYA. Ah! those bells which always take you from my arms!
ENRIQUE. I hope to see you soon!
ZORAYA. Watch carefully during your return to the city.
ENRIQUE. Yes, yes!
[She gazes at him until he disappears through the doorway.]
