  1. This was a truly thrilling scene, though some persons might
  2. have thought that the sudden tumbling down of a quantity of long red
  3. hair rather marred the effect of the villain's death. He was called
  4. before the curtain, and with great propriety appeared, leading Hagar,
  5. whose singing was considered more wonderful than all the rest of the
  6. performance put together.
  7. Act fourth displayed the despairing Roderigo on the point of
  8. stabbing himself because he has been told that Zara has deserted him.
  9. Just as the dagger is at his heart, a lovely song is sung under his
  10. window, informing him that Zara is true but in danger, and he can
  11. save her if he will. A key is thrown in, which unlocks the door,
  12. and in a spasm of rapture he tears off his chains and rushes away
  13. to find and rescue his lady love.
  14. Act fifth opened with a stormy scene between Zara and Don Pedro.
  15. He wishes her to go into a convent, but she won't hear of it, and
  16. after a touching appeal, is about to faint when Roderigo dashes in
  17. and demands her hand. Don Pedro refuses, because he is not rich.
  18. They shout and gesticulate tremendously but cannot agree, and
  19. Rodrigo is about to bear away the exhausted Zara, when the timid
  20. servant enters with a letter and a bag from Hagar, who has mysteriously
  21. disappeared. The latter informs the party that she bequeaths
  22. untold wealth to the young pair and an awful doom to Don Pedro, if
  23. he doesn't make them happy. The bag is opened, and several quarts of
  24. tin money shower down upon the stage till it is quite glorified with
  25. the glitter. This entirely softens the stern sire. He consents
  26. without a murmur, all join in a joyful chorus, and the curtain falls
  27. upon the lovers kneeling to receive Don Pedro's blessing in attitudes
