Arlette and the Abbe in a Sacristy Scene
In a dim sacristy, Arlette prays while the Abbe murmurs a warning as the moment passes. Arlette then confesses a deep, troubling resolve about the man she loves, while the Abbé misreads her as a heathen and lets her depart into a tense, restless night among the Escampobar household. The narrative shifts to the kitchen where Peyrol, Scevola, Catherine, and others debate politics as Arlette and Real share a charged, unspoken connection in the midst of upheaval.
