Saint Anthony

Of Padua.

Gustave

What sort of joke is this? I am in no mood for laughing. Have you been drinking? Come, what are you here for? What do you want?...

Saint Anthony

I want to raise your aunt from the dead.

Gustave

What? Raise my aunt from the dead? (To Virginie.) He’s drunk. Why did you let him in? (To Saint Anthony.) Look here, my man, be sensible: we have no time for jesting. My aunt is to be buried to-day; you can call again to-morrow. Here. Here’s a trifle for you.
