Enter GIOVANNA, wearing a large black cloak over her white nun's gown. She enters quietly and comes forward . BRESCA slips out, closes the door, and the key is immediately heard to turn in the lock. She stops at the sound, looks back with a little surprise and then examines the room as if expecting to see someone. She sees the door R., knocks at it — knocks again, opens it; hesitates; comes away from it. She sees the weapons about the room and begins to show signs of perturbation. She catches sight of a torn envelope on the desk, reads the address and starts. She picks up another from the floor and her distress increases. She goes quickly to door C., tries it and finds it locked. She draws back two or three steps in horror. Then footsteps and the clanking of a sword are heard without. She creeps along the wall at the side from which the door opens outward meaning to dash out. The key is heard to turn in the lock and is taken out again. The door is opened quickly. Enter GIOVANNI. She springs forward to rush past him, but he catches her by the wrist and holds her away from the door while he shuts the door, locking it with the other hand
