Look out! Don Gonzalo. Are you talking to me, Señora? Doña Laura. Yes, to you. Don Gonzalo. What do you wish? Doña Laura. You have scared away the birds who were feeding on bread crumbs. Don Gonzalo. What do I care about the birds. Doña Laura. But I do. Don Gonzalo. This is a public park. Doña Laura. Then why do you complain that the priests have taken your bench? Don Gonzalo. Señora, we have not been introduced to each other. I do not know why you take the liberty of addressing me. Come, Juanito. Doña Laura. What an ill-natured old man. Why must some people get so fussy and cross when they reach a certain age? I am glad. He lost that bench, too. Serves him right for scaring the birds. He is furious. Yes, yes; find a seat if you can. Poor fellow! He is wiping the perspiration from his face. Here he comes. A carriage would not raise more dust than he does with his feet.
