"What is his surname?"
"I never asked him."
"What! you never asked his name? What do you know of him?"
"I know he is an honest man, and loves Noémi."
"But what is he? A gentleman, a peasant, a workman, a sailor, or a smuggler?"
"He is a poor man, suited to us."
"And what else? I must know, for it is part of my duty. What faith does he confess? Is he Papist, Calvinist, Lutheran, Socinian, or perhaps a Jew?"
"I have not troubled myself about it."
"Do you keep the fasts of the Church?"
