(collapsing on Jenny)
McNaughten
This woman is a torment; she must have been bewitched. Must I always
have a fury attached to my steps?
Jenny
Can you see my lady expire in my arms? You, who once had so much
tenderness for her? This poor innocent--does she deserve to have her
love repaid by such cruelty?
McNaughten
Let her expire in your arms. Let the Devil take her, and you with her.
Who cares! Already, for my peace and quiet, he might have done that.
Urania (springing back to life)
Perjurer! I will avenge myself for your breach of contract. I have
your promise. There's your signature. I have proof of your imposture.
McNaughten (to Hastings)
She's crazier than it's possible to explain. Try, as soon as you can,
to have her shut up.
Hastings (reading the contract)
But here's your name: McNaughten. Have you been with her in some way?
She is my sister: maybe I can smooth things over.
McNaughten
Me! If I've ever seen those two cheats standing there before today.
Pardon the harsh word, one of them is your sister. Never mind. I swear
before you, that Satan--Lucifer--
Hastings
I believe you without swearing.
McNaughten
This woman has vowed to make me insane. Spirit, demon, mischief making
witch, woman or fury--whatever you are: I beg you, leave me alone.
