In this short scene, the audience is introduced to the character of Pamela, who has recently had a dream in which he sees a perfume around his neck. The card on the jester side of the card symbolizes the "beginning of an adventure," while the one on the right side signifies the "acquisition of wealth." Pamela asks if he has seen Belus before, and he replies that he has, but he is not feeling well. He tells her that he is going to the abbey because he wants to see her again. He asks if she thinks he is repulsive, and she replies that she is afraid of looking in the mirror. She tells him that she has an "enormous feeling," but it cannot be real, because she is a monk. She says that she does not know how much she has wanted to kill her, but that what she saw was just an illusion. She asks why he interfered in her life, and the answer is that he was a pretentious brat.
