They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these, because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.”

PRÁXEDES.—Agua, hay aquí. ¿Qué dice? ¿Qué no? ¡Ah! Bueno, por eso… (Le sirve un vaso de la mesa a Ezequiel.) EZEQUIEL.—Yo debo de estar malísimo, porque veo la habitación llena de muebles. FERNANDO.—Y lo está realmente, tío Ezequiel. EZEQUIEL.—¡Vaya! Menos mal. Eso me tranquiliza. CLOTILDE.—¡Qué cosa tan desagradable, Dios mío! Tiene usted mordeduras, ¿verdad? EZEQUIEL.—Sí. Tengo de todo. CLOTILDE.—¡Claro! Si Micaela le echó encima a Caín y a Abel… FERNANDO.—¿Te han mordido los perros, tío? EZEQUIEL.—¿Los perros? No. Aquella señora. (Señala a Micaela.). Los perros no hacían más que ladrar los animalitos. Pero aquella señora… Sujetadla bien, que no vuelva.”
