An artist was standing before an easel in a quaint old studio

'What does that picture mean, Seignor?' asked the gipsy girl

'I am anxious to catch the sunlight on those raven tresses,' he continued

The girl's face grew darker, and she answered 'I never pray to anyone'

'You are a very good sitter, but do you always look so melancholy?'

He shall never have it -- NEVER I hate him. I loathe him

'Yes, to be sure' replied the artist, looking up in surprise

'Heaven is where God dwells, and the angels, up there'

'We are all sinners, and have done wicked things, everybody has'

Gitana stood thoughtfully watching his movements

'Now, Seignor, tell me who this Man is, and why He is dying a cruel death'

If He was so good to the people, how came He to die, and be nailed to that wood?

He said that whosoever only believed in Jesus should not perish

How could He like to be nailed there with those sharp prickles round his forehead?

How can you help loving Him, if you know that He died for you?

'Can you look at that picture and see the patient dying Man as He hangs there?

She clasped her hands above her head, exclaiming, 'Oh my sins, who will save me?'

She crouched down, and hid her tears with the gay silken scarf

'Don't weep, Gitana, I will ask the student if there is not room in heaven for you'

The student took much interest in Sternberg's account of the gipsy

He now had found Jesus, and believed in Him to the saving of his soul

As he kneels before the picture he often stops to wipe away his tears

They passed their jokes on most of the paintings

The painter's eye observed him keenly; his ear caught a sigh

As he drew near, he saw that she was weeping

Gitana lifted her head hastily, and tried to speak

'Oh, Seignor, I saw that dying face again, and He seemed to speak to me'

During his reading, she smiled at the assurance of pardon

'Farewell, farewell, Gitana, for the last time until we meet in heaven'

The gipsy king is seated by Gitana's bed of dried leaves

'Why are you so glad to die, Gitana, the flower of our tribe?'

'My Saviour loves me better than even you do, and I shall be with Him for ever'

(Effect) 'He is here now, I feel His presence'

An artist and musician live with only a wall and a grudge between them

The musician generally contrives to practise at the same time as his neighbour

Who is almost distracted by the abominable noise

He buries his head under the bedclothes until it is over

He conceives a plan by which to stop such vile performances

When he discovers the trick, the fiddler's fury knows no bounds

A pitched battle follows, in which the dog plays a noble part

The artist empties a bottle of varnish over his assailant
