Opéra Comique.

SCENE VI.

MR. TUE, MARGARITA, DORVAL.

DORVAL, dressed as a captive, a chain on his arm, a long white beard, a cloak, and a guitar.

Abominable old woman! Let us listen.

MR. TUE.

I believe you; but one cannot have too many precautions: go fetch her before there are more people in the street. What are you doing there? What are you asking for?

DORVAL.

My charitable gentleman.

MR. TUE.

Leave me alone.

DORVAL.

My good lady, my virtuous princess.

MR. TUE.

You... you... I no longer know what I wanted to say: the devil take the man.

MARGARITA.

Leave us in peace, then.

MR. TUE.

Take her to the little convent, and bring her back immediately after...
