Was not so full of dignity and grace
As an alcalde’s should be.
P. Cura. That is true.
He’s out of humor with some vagrant gipsies,
That have their camp here in the neighborhood.
There’s nothing so undignified as anger.
Hyp. The Padre Cura will excuse our boldness,
If from his well-known hospitality
We crave a lodging for the night.
P. Cura. I pray you!
