SCENE IX.
M. RISS, MADAME RISS; M. LEK, AND THE PRESIDENT, in the cabinet, where they are seen by the public.
M. RISS.
My wife, you owe me gratitude.
Madame RISS.
Ah! a great deal.
M. RISS.
Yes, without a doubt, in all diligence,
I put my mare to the gallop to hurry back;
In three hours, at most: upon my word, that is not too much.
The man I was looking for is no longer in this village.
But, what is it then? You have a very bad look on your face.
Madame RISS.
I have nothing.
THE PRESIDENT.
One hears.
M. LEK.
Peace, peace.
M. RISS.
The table is set.
Three place settings, a great feast, a Partridge Pie!
With whom are you having supper?
Madame RISS.
I invited...
M. RISS.
Who?
Madame RISS.
Ladies.
THE PRESIDENT.
She will have trouble getting out of this.
M. RISS.
Who else then?
