'Sh! 'sh! Scandalous! Are you every gossip's plaything? Come! Violence, violence--we shall do nothing with violence. Rafael is young, short-sighted and stubborn; but he's a good fellow at heart. We must handle him delicately, like a big trout. You leave him to me, and he will stay at home and marry Aaron's daughter, willingly. [ (They sit in front of AARON'S house.) (ESTHER: Now what did I tell you, you silly old man!) Silly old man! Not at all. An affectionate father, deeply troubled about his only child--sorely vexed because too many things have gone wrong at once! Would you have him sit still and not open his month? Oh no, Sachel is not the man to let things take care of themselves!
