The lord of Lusignan.
Amaury. My father?
Smarda. He.
And you are sought below, I heard it said:
Some officer of Famagouste – and men.
[Amaury turns dazed and goes.
Vittia (through a surge of thoughts that have darkened her face).
This is again fortune! … fortune!
Smarda. Lady?
Vittia. Is! though an instant since it seemed disaster.
Smarda. And how?
Vittia. Yolanda, does not know? nothing?
Smarda. Nothing. She was returning from the rocks,
Where nest the windy gulls,
[Gloatingly.
As I came hither, I stole there at noon
To see her suffer.
Vittia. Then – I can compel her.
She will come here. Go to the curtains, see.
If she is near, the Paphian is in
The bower by the cypress: there, tell him,
The loggia – at once… Ah!
Yolanda enters.
Yolanda (to herself). "Ah" indeed.
[Her look of purpose changes to one of distrust. But she firmly fronts to Vittia, as the slave slips out.
Vittia. My gratitude! I wished, and you are here.

Vittia. A prophesy!
Yolanda. A deeper than disdain.
Vittia. Or than your love of Camarin of Paphos!
Yolanda. Which you would feign, but cannot.
Vittia. Still, before
Evening is done, you will become his wife.
Yolanda. If, ere it come, all under Lusignan
Do not look scorn on Vittia Pisani.
[Rises.
Vittia. What! how?
Yolanda. Plentiful scorn! (With joy.) A thing may still
