Father Benedict—Why should he hide it from me?
Louis— I can't say.
Father is not a man to show his heart.
He no doubt had his reason for it.
Father Benedict— Humph!
Louis—I do know, though, that Father admires you.
Father Benedict—
Admires me?
Louis— Yes.
Father Benedict—Scorns me.
Louis— You are wrong.
Father Benedict—How do you know he does?
Louis— Before you came,
Father had just conceived of a great temple
With you in large space on the entablature.
