Garza. [Rocking] Mother of God! Oh, Mother of God!
Fam. What is it, Garza?
Mas. There you have it! You see
Who comes here stays.
Fam. But he was free! His friend
Brought twenty pesos to pay off his debt.
Gonzalo. And when he went to pay it, on the books
There stood two hundred pesos against Garza.
Mas. Two hundred—twenty,—you see, Famette,
How much a little "o" can do.
Fam. They dare
Do that? I'll see the magistrate! [The men stare at her]
Mas. [Patting her shoulder] Poor girl!
Fam. I will! Why not? What is he for?
Gon. What for?
To see we are well beaten when we ask
For justice. He must serve who pays him,—that's
The master.
