Arabella
You are angry to see me laugh, and I am laughing to see you angry.
Desmond
Is this a way to talk of love?
Arabella
As for love--will yours always be so afflicted?
Desmond
If I had less refinement--
Arabella
You would be more reasonable.
Desmond
Is there anything more reasonable than my complaints?
Arabella
Oh, your exaggerations are always full of reason. But they don't make
you happy.
Desmond
What a conversation. Alas--how different your character is from mine.
Arabella
Marriage will solve all that.
Desmond
There, Lucy, I ask you to judge--
Lucy
I have nothing to gain by judging. Judge yourselves. I am going to get
my mistress up.
Arabella
Dress her up quickly, for the Countess wants to see her right away.
Lucy
Your aunt Bramble is not yet awake--and between the wake up and the
coming down of a middle aged woman, there are numerous ceremonies of
the toilette.
(Exit Lucy.)
Arabella
We've got to get some money from my aunt. It's essential.
Desmond
The essential thing is to find out if we're going to be happy
together.
Arabella
Nice question! With this type of humor we're going to get along fine;
and I'm going to get rid of all your peculiarities.
