Chapter 3

Turiddu! what said you? (Going further back and calling in desperation.) Turiddu! Turiddu! Ah!-- (Enter Santuzza.) Santuzza!

SANTUZZA.

Oh! madre mia!...

O dearest mother!

(A confused murmur is heard in the distance.)

(A woman screams.)

WOMEN

Hanno ammazzato compare Turiddu!...

They have murdered Master Turiddu!

(Some of the women enter, and one of them repeats the cry desperately. All come on the stage. SANTUZZA falls senseless. LUCIA swoons, and is surrounded by all the women.)

The curtain falls quickly.
