SEFA (after a long "business session," with Veldrin, Tyree starts to leave. He smiles at Sefa standing submissively in the blue silk dress that he had bought for her, bringing out her fine coloring and curly brown hair, and he pinches her cheek, then goes out the door, whistling. She somewhat reluctantly smiles at his retreating back, to be instantly brought to her knees by an excruciating pain. Veldrin is standing over her, hissing, "Do not make eyes at him, fool of a girl. He bought you for me, not himself. Do you really dream of supplanting me? Take that!" (whips her)(After her punishment is done, she creeps to her attic room to cry. "Lord Tyree wouldn't have done that," she thinks, forgetting her earlier beating. Perhaps he would see that she would be nicer to him than that monster Veldrin.)
