pupil: Ambrosio (Vivaldo advises Ambrosio not to destroy Chrysostom's writings.) “So that, Señor Ambrosio while you consign your friend’s body to the earth, you should not consign his writings to oblivion, for if he gave the order in bitterness of heart, it is not right that you should irrationally obey it.”
with Ambrosio (Ambrosio grants Vivaldo permission to keep the papers he has taken.) “Out of courtesy, señor, I will grant your request as to those you have taken, but it is idle to expect me to abstain from burning the remainder.”
