Scene XIV The Countess, Criquet, Jeannot
Coun. (giving some money to JEANNOT). Here, my boy; here is something for your trouble.
Jean. Oh no, thank you, Ma’am.
Coun. Take it, I say.
Jean. My master told me not take anything from you Ma’am.
Coun. Never mind, take it all the same.
Jean. Excuse me, Ma’am.
Cri. Take it, Jeannot. If you don’t want it, you can give it me.
Coun. Tell your master that I thank him.
Cri. (to JEANNOT, who is going). Give it to me, Jeannot.
Jea. Yes, you catch me.
Cri. It was I who made you take it.
Jea. I should have taken it without your help.
Coun. What pleases me in this Mr. Thibaudier is that he knows how to behave with people of my quality, and that he is very respectful.
