TOGETHER.

CLAUDINE. Upon my soul, I will be heard.
JEANNETTE. It is me who will be listened to.
MARCEL. The gossips over there!

C L A U D I N E, hurriedly.

Jeannette,

In secret,

Coquette

Perfect,

Has the ardor

Of a deceiver,

Of a rascal!

Responds.

M A R C E L.

Hum;

Claudine

Mutinous,

Gossiping,

Screeching,

Stuns me,

Deafens me

With her cursed

Noise.

J E A N N E T T E.

Who, my aunt

Prudent

Expires,

Sighs

For the object

Who would be

My fit.

M A R C E L.

Peace, be quiet.

C L A U D I N E.

The insolent one!

M A R C E L.

Be quiet.

J E A N N E T T E.

It is my aunt.
