Text

Start:

I’m surprised to see you sitting outdoors like this. What is that thing you’re wearing?--I think it’s an undergarment!--It’s hanging off one shoulder, and your head, Serafina, looks as if you had stuck it in a bucket of oil.

[... … …]

End:

Oh, I knew this was going to happen when you broke the Church law and had your husband cremated! --Set up a little idolatrous shrine in your house and give worship to a bottle of ashes.--Are you listening to me?
