Tuneless
Who has been previously married.
Arabella
Who always indulges his wife in a thousand ways.
Tuneless
Like you, for example.
Arabella
Unfortunately, I will never be as happy as my aunt was.
Bramble
I like the prudence, the wisdom, and the good taste of this tasty
little person.
Arabella
It's my natural taste, you know, sir. I am incapable of loving a young
man. But, I am capable of a real affection for those who treat me
right.
Bramble
Noble sentiments, noble sentiments. I am so charmed, so delighted,
that I am going to see the Countess right now. Ah, there she is in the
gallery. I am going to speak to her this moment.
(Exit Bramble.)
Arabella
It's not going badly. But, if my aunt should come in--
Tuneless
Fear nothing. These two departed will not meet so soon. For Desmond is
keeping the widow in the garden, and we are keeping the husband here.
The Countess is in on the plot, and is going to keep him in his
apartment, one way or another.
Arabella
Hurry then, to do on our side as well as Desmond has done on his.
Tuneless
You must make your contribution by making the old widower in love,
while Desmond does the same with the widow.
