Description: While walking home, Celestina (leftmost figure) sees Sempronio (right-central figure) and Pármeno (rightmost figure), who are going to check on Calisto (left-central figure) at Saint Mary Magdalene’s church. The two servants enter first, and Celestina follows closely behind. She tells Calisto that she has good news, and the four of them go to Calisto’s house for privacy. Once there, Celestina tells him that Melibea is passionately in love with him and has agreed to meet at midnight. Calisto is overjoyed, but Sempronio and Pármeno express suspicion at Melibea’s sudden change of heart.
