Aaron.

Eh? Doesn't the girl know about it?

Rosa.

What do you mean by saying that he ran away from me? How do you know that he ran away from me? Where is he! Tell me where he is! Quick, you shall!

Aaron.

No one will know where he is until he has spent the money he sent for. And that ought to keep him a year, even in England.

Rosa.

England—you say he has gone to England? You tell me he has deserted me? After what he said before the synagogue? I say it's a lie—a preposterous lie! It isn't true that I am only his mistress—it's a lie!

Aaron.

I'll tell you what is true; after this escapade with you he'll have to prove himself a man before he marries my daughter.
