At the English Court, Dominica awakes in the arms of her lover, Intaglio, who is posing as her brother.

Despite Juan's talents, Intaglio says that he will never quite match him, prompting Dominica to question whether she is just a prize between the two of them.
Intaglio tells Dominica that rather than the Duke, she should concentrate on the Marquis of Dover, whom he is setting up to gain money and land from.
Dominica ushers him out of her room by a secret passage to keep up the pretence of being brother and sister. Dominica's maid arrives with a message, bearing the crest of the Spanish court. Dominica reads it, shocked by the content.
