"Hello," she called loftily, looking at Santuzza. "Have you seen Alfio, Turiddu?"
"No, I have only just now come into the square."
"Oh, perhaps you have come to church," she persisted impertinently.
"I—I stopped to tell Santuzza—" he hardly knew what to say.
"I stopped to see Turiddu," Santuzza interrupted earnestly. "I stopped to say that the good Lord beholds all our deeds."
"Ah—then you are not going to mass?"
"No—those who go to mass must have a clear conscience. Which of us here has that?"
"Really I know nothing about you," Lola answered; "as for mine—it is clear!" Turiddu foreseeing trouble between them interrupted hastily.
"Let us go in," speaking to Lola.
"Oh, stay with Santuzza—and her conscience! do!"
