In this short scene, Leah's servant, Faust, tells his master that the devil has returned to wreak vengeance on Leah. He tells him that he has come to kill the devil with his hands, but that he will not worry about his master's safety because he is a "magic being" . Leah asks him why he is telling her that she is a magical being, and he replies that he wants to be freed from her hatred, from her malice, and from her love for the devil.
