THE GREAT ANCESTOR
Where are your little friends?... Would you mind coming a little nearer, dear ladies?... (Gazing with attention at THE SIX GIRLS, who come forward and stand in front of him.) Well, well, you have set us our task, but you have made it very difficult: how is one to select when all are equally beautiful?
THE GREAT MENDICANT

THE GREAT PEASANT
And they appear to be very healthy, very quiet and very hard-working.
THE GREAT ANCESTOR
Do you recognize the one among them for whom we are waiting?
THE GREAT MENDICANT
Not yet.
