My father will probably speak first of Rebecca. I shall say: "No, father, I will marry no woman I do not love." Then that will be settled; my father will let the matter drop. Then I shall tell him about you. Either he will be violent or he will ask me a few questions between his teeth, such as: "How much money have you?" (ROSA: Nothing!) Or, "What vocation are you master of?" (ROSA: The music--if he could only hear----!) My father is as deaf to my art as he is blind. "Are you master of an art, when it will not yield you bread?" he will say.
