AND. I do not come for either of these.
MASC. You have brought this young lady then to walk about and to see the
town?
AND. What is that to you? (_To Celia_). I shall be with you again
in one moment; I am going to fetch the old woman presently, and tell
them not to send the travelling-carriage which was ready.
MASC. Is the lady not quite well?
AND. She has a headache.
MASC. I have some good wine and cheese within; walk in, go into my small
house. (_Celia, Andres and Mascarille go into the house_).
SCENE V.--LELIO, _alone_.
However impatient and excited I may feel, yet I have pledged my word to
do nothing but wait quietly, to let another work for me, and to see,
without daring to stir, in what manner Heaven will change my destiny.
SCENE VI.--ANDRES, LELIO.
LEL. (_Addressing Andres, who is coming out of the house_). Do you
want to see anybody in this house?
AND. I have just taken some furnished apartments there.
LEL. The house belongs to my father, and my servant sleeps there every
night to take care of it.
AND. I know nothing of that; the bill, at least, shows it is to be let;
read it.
LEL. Truly this surprises me, I confess. Who the deuce can have put that
bill up, and why.
