Cruz. Ave Maria!
Pre. Oh God! my evil genius!
What seek you here to-day?
Cruz. Thyself—my child.
Pre. What is thy will with me?
Cruz. Gold!—gold!
Pre. I gave thee yesterday; I have no more.
Cruz. The gold of the Busné—give me his gold!
Pre. I gave the last in charity to-day.
Cruz. That is a foolish lie.
