Zina. Oh, my life is so hopeless—

Halcom. Do you remember your mother?

Zina. I had no mother.

Halcom. No mother?

Zina. I grew up among the hands; I know nothing more.

Halcom. You had but one master?

Zina. Master Brightly is all I have ever known.

Halcom. They have told you nothing of your origin?

Zina. Nothing.

Halcom. You have no little keepsake in memory of the past!
