HELIOGABALUS
Thank you; now I can hear her better. [To LUCIA] And you were saying, my dear?
LUCIA
[Striking her heart again] My faith is here. The truth is here. The power of the spirit is here.
HELIOGABALUS
Yes, so far, so good. But surely you don't claim to be a magician like those other Christians. A pretty girl like you!
LUCIA
There is no magic! There is only the spirit.
