Gen. True, but you repeated it.

King. But not often.

Gen. Stop, I think I see where we are getting confused. When you said “orphan,” did you mean “orphan”—a person who has lost his parents; or often—frequently?

Gen. Ah, you said often—frequently.

King. No, only once.

Gen. (irritated). Exactly, you said often, frequently, only once.

Finale.

Recitative.—General.
