Eug. All very well,

But, after all, no marvellous result

Of ten years spent in golden India.

Why, one has heard how fine a thing it is

To be my Lord Mayor’s daughter; what must be,

Methought, to own a dowry from Peru!

And when you talk about the furniture,

Pictures, chairs, carpets, mirrors, and all that—

The best of all is wanting.

Clara. What is that?
