I said that to them. Why did I not hold my cursed tongue! He hadn't a copper in his pocket; the poor boy had given away everything he had, to bury Mordecai's son.
Aaron.
And does not she know that he gave up every friend he had, too, when he forsook his religion? These things must have passed through her mind.
Sachel.
What do I care what is passing in her mind!
Aaron.
Of course, of course! [Pulls the letters from his pocket.] But the main probability is that Rafael will soon return. I am only thinking whether before he returns this girl could not be influenced to leave here, made to believe that the boy has deserted her? You can't blame me for considering my daughter's feelings in this matter. Now suppose we could let drop a few things in Rosa's presence, without appearing to know that she overheard?
Sachel.
I don't care about her! I want him to come back.
