[The same persons, Zoraya, Calabazas, Albornos, Ibarra, Molina,
afterward Padilla.]
[At a gesture from Calabazas, Zoraya stops, the bells stop ringing,
the mob becomes quiet. Indistinct organ music is heard.]
CALABAZAS. (Standing at the head of the steps) Woman, the Inquisition
has delivered you over for punishment to Toledo. Before you are
purified by fire, make a public penance on your knees, torch in hand.
(Torilla unties Zoraya's hand.) And ask pardon for your crimes from
God, from the Church and from the King.
[Gil Andrès presents the torch to Zoraya.]
ZORAYA. (Spurning the torch) Ask pardon yourself, priest, for the
crime which you are about to commit.
[Murmurs from the crowd and the priests.]
CALABAZAS. (To Gil Andrès) Do your duty!
[When Gil Andrès and his men attempt to lead Zoraya away Enrique
rushes into the scene. All stop instantly when Padilla, in the church,
cries "Wait!" He enters.]
