Meliflor: Let us be well contented with our lot. The idle hours are our sacred treasure.

Ximenung: Yes, I am well contented, and yet ...

Moomoomon (contemplatively): And yet ...

Ximenung: I sometimes dream that were it not for our glorious state, and this tradition of exalted ease, it might, it might be pleasant ...

Moomoomon: To toil, to labour, to raid the golden hoards.

Ximenung: Yes, Moomoomon.

Meliflor: Never! Never!

Others: No. No. No.

Another: And yet ...

Meliflor: No, never. We should lose our glorious ease, the heritage that none may question.
