Lothundiaz I have always doubted him, and it seems I was right in refusing him my daughter in marriage.
Don Ramon He would bring her to beggary. He has squandered five thousand sequins, and has gone into debt three thousand in eight months, without attaining any result! Ah! He is a contrast with his grandfather. There's a philosopher of the first rank for you! Fontanares will have to work hard to catch up with him. (He points to Quinola.)
Lothundiaz
His grandfather?
Quinola
Yes, senor, my name of Fontanares was changed to that of Fontanaresi.
Lothundiaz
And you are Pablo Fontanaresi?
Quinola
Yes, Pablo himself.
Lothundiaz
And you are rich?
Quinola
Opulent.
Lothundiaz That delights me, senor. I suppose that now you will pay me the two thousand sequins which you borrowed from my father?
Quinola Certainly, if you can show me my signature, I am ready to pay the bond.
