SCENE III

_Teodora and Ernest. Towards the end of the last scene twilight has fallen, so that at this moment the room is in deep shadow._

ERNEST. I am dazed by so much kindness. How can I ever repay it? [_He sits down on the sofa, displaying great emotion. Teodora walks over and stands beside him_.]

TEODORA. By ejecting the spirit of pride and distrust; by being sensible and believing that we truly love you, that we will never change; and by putting full faith in all Julian's promises. His word is sacred, Ernest, and in him you will always have a father, in me a sister.
