Scene Three

[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.]
