"Too proud?"

"Yes, too proud."

"But what a position to be in! What can I do for you? May I give you two hundred lire? I have two hundred lire on me. And I will tell Urania that I gave it to you."

"No, thank you, prince. I am very grateful to you, but I can't accept it."

"Not from me?"

"No."

"Not from Urania?"

"Not from her either."

"Why not?"

"I want to earn my money and I can't accept alms."
