"Is Gordon broke?" "He's weltering in money, but the coal claims are lost, and he wants to know what they're going to do about it. The women are ruined. He magnanimously offers them his bounty, but of course they refuse to accept it." "Hasn't he made any provision for them?" "Coffee and cakes, three times a day. That's all!

In the next act the nuptials of Selika and Vasco are on the point of being celebrated with great pomp, when the hero, who has throughout the opera wavered between the two women who love him, finally makes up his mind in favour of Inez.

As the one of all whom I would have forget me in my disgrace. And now, to-day of all days; just when I have found the father's vices confirmed in the son, you come before me, as if from the bowels of the earth, to remind me of what I was." Mrs. Buckley was very much shocked and provoked by this, but held her tongue magnanimously.
"We're horrid, nasty things to make such fun of you, but it was such a good joke on you!" "Oh, I'll forgive you all," said Katherine magnanimously, "but I still have a sneaking suspicion that the joke was on you!" "All aboard for St. Pierre," cried Uncle Teddy. "How many of you boys want to come along? Company form ranks on the pier!"
