SCENE II.

MEPHISTOPHELES, FAUST, and SIEBEL.

_Faust._ (cautiously entering through the garden door). We are here!

_Mep_. Follow me.

_Faust._ Whom dost thou see?

_Mep._ Siebel, your rival.

_Faust._ Siebel?

_Mep._ Hush! He comes. (They enter the bower.)

_Sie._ (entering with a bouquet in his hand). My bouquet is charming indeed?

_Mep._ (aside). It is indeed!

_Sie._ Victory! Tomorrow I'll reveal all to her. I will disclose to her the secret That lies concealed in my heart: A kiss will tell the rest.

_Mep._ (aside, mockingly). Seducer!

(Exit SIEBEL, after fastening bouquet to the door of the pavilion.)
