The Spanish Student

Scene VIII. —­ The Theatre.  The orchestra plays the cachucha.  Sound of castanets behind the scenes.  The curtain rises, and discovers Preciosa in the attitude of commencing the dance.  The cachucha.  Tumult; hisses; cries of “Brava!” and “Afuera!” She falters and pauses.  The music stops.  General confusion.  Preciosa faints.
