(L. C.) That's a settler--I never can; I never could bear to see a woman cry--Never! There, don't grieve, dear; you were turned into stone, but you've turned out all right; don't cry! Please don't cry. (NIO: Ah me! That I so easily am moved.) Well, it took eight men to carry you in here. (NIO: I'll dry these tears, the cause of my hard lot.) The hardest lot ever put up; when you consider you've gone all these years without so much as having your nose chipped off! Why, you've been buried for centuries. (NIOBE looks at him in wonder) And if they hadn't started exploring the ruins of some of those old Temples, you'd be there still. I'm aware it's a delicate subject with a lady, but I should estimate you must be close on three thousand years old.
