Scene XII Octave, Léandre, Scapin
OCT. Well, Scapin, have your plans been successful?
LEA. Have you done anything towards alleviating my sorrow?
SCA. (to OCTAVE). Here are two hundred pistoles I have got from your father.
OCT. Ah! how happy you make me.
SCA. (to LÉANDRE), But I could do nothing for you.
LEA. (going away). Then I must die, Sir, for I could not live without Zerbinette.
SCA. Hallo! stop, stop; my goodness, how quick you are!
LEA. What can become of me?
SCA. There, there, I have all you want.
LEA. Ah! you bring me back to life again.
SCA. But I give it you only on one condition, which is that you will allow me to revenge myself a little on your father for the trick he has played me.
LEA. You may do as you please.
SCA. You promise it to me before witnesses?
LEA. Yes.
SCA. There, take these five hundred crowns.
LEA. Ah! I will go at once and buy her whom I adore.
