This is what you are doing, Mr.Faust, you are robbing Spain.

You are robbing her of something worth more to her than Cuba.

And I tell you, so soon as it is known that this Velasquez is going to your home in Pittsburgh, every Spaniard will hate you and every art-collector will hate you, too.
For it is the most wonderful art treasure in Europe.

And what a bargain, Mr.Faust! What a bargain!" To make sure that the reporter was within hearing, Mr.Faust glanced in the direction of Philip and, seeing that he had heard, frowned importantly.

That the reporter might hear still more, he also raised his voice.
"Nothing can be called a bargain, Baron," he said, "that costs three hundred thousand dollars!" Again he could not resist glancing toward Philip, and so eagerly that Philip deemed it would be only polite to look interested.
