M A R G A R I T A.
You wanted to tell me something.
MR. T U E.
Ah! is no one listening? No: oh well, Margarita, I have taken you to guard my ward, who is going to be my wife.
M A R G A R I T A.
That is what I was saying.
MR. T U E.
And that is what must not be said; I do not want people to believe that I am marrying her because she is rich.
M A R G A R I T A.
Sir, I assure you.
MR. T U E.
Peace: I shall be, I think, happy with you. The Signor Zelotini a proper name, likely an Italian acquaintance...
M A R G A R I T A.
He must have testified to you about me...
MR. T U E.
Yes, yes: he says, however, that you love money.
M A R G A R I T A.
I love it as one ought to love it.
MR. T U E.
He also says that you are a bit of a dawdler, that you stop at every door. Those are his terms.
M A R G A R I T A.
No, Sir.
MR. T U E.
He says, furthermore, that you caused his first wife to die of grief; but that does not matter, provided you are punctual.
M A R G A R I T A.
I assure you, Sir.
MR. T U E.
Do not interrupt me, I have a thousand things in my head to tell you, & that confuses me. Ah... Did Lise speak to anyone in the coach?
M A R G A R I T A.
Yes, to a young man.
