Townly:
But what makes you think that when I give you my word?
Lucas:
Good! Your word comes and goes like the air.
Mrs. Townly: (sweetly)
Wait till you see.
Lucas:
You can't make up your mind.
Mrs. Townly:
To prove my sincerity and my submission, I am going this moment to
forbid Mr. Nelson to set foot in this house.
(Exit Mrs. Townly)
Townly:
I believe she's going to do it. What should have caused this miracle?
Lucas:
Listen, it must be that--
Townly:
It would be, just my luck. The only time in her life she doesn't
contradict me it's to contradict me.
Lucas:
For her to obey you is not natural.
Townly:
I am going to see what's happening. I still don't believe it.
(Exit Townly)
Nelson: (entering)
Well, well, Lucas. We are going to sign the contract. Here's the money
I promised you--
Lucas:
Madam is going to give you your walking papers--she's looking for you
to do just that.
Nelson:
She doesn't want me, you say?
Lucas:
Something has happened, I don't know exactly what. Wait for me here,
I'm going to see for myself.
(Exit Lucas)
Nelson:
I love waiting for this little Angelica--but I'm joking about that.
