Description
Fedalma and Don Silva hold hands as Zarca approaches and draws his sword on Silva. Violence has long separated the Spaniards and the Gyspies as the Gypsies fought off the Christian Spaniards who had ethnically targeted the Gypsies. Silva responds that he has no ill-will against Zarca and has only come to reclaim his bride, Fedalma. (Book 3)
