What do you mean?...
Mary Magdalene
That I sell myself more skilfully and dearer than before.
Verus
Magdalene!... You slander yourself!...
Mary Magdalene
You would see, if your desire prompted you to try your fortune, that, on the contrary, I rate myself very highly.
Verus
You will always rate yourself less highly than I do. You will not succeed in degrading yourself in my eyes; and I see in what you say no more than the just rebellion of a deeply wounded soul struggling against pain....
Mary Magdalene
