Las penas del amor.
Athol: Will, who is that woman?
Porter: A Mexican girl I used to know—a long time ago, dear, when I was ranching—
Athol: Why should you know such a woman?
Porter: It was before I met you, dearest. There was no disloyalty to you.
Athol: But, Will—
Porter: Every man has a temptation, Athol; and she was mine. I have resisted her; I shall always resist her—more easily with you by my side.
Athol: What is her name?
Porter: Espiritu, they call her—Espiritu de la Vina. She is gay, and men flock to her—but I have chosen the water-wagon for my chariot to heaven!
(Espiritu dances off left, with a burst of mocking laughter)
