Be kind to my good luck, Dont blast the Little Bud
|
Hang the clown, A hundred lashes on your back is what you deserve
|
|
|
I agree Give them to me but when youre done allow me to deserve a few more. Shall I go for the whip
|
Villian
|
|
|
Present! But being a villian doesnt prevent a man from striking gold
|
What in heaveans name Has gotten into you you good for nothing
|
|
|
Good-for-nothing suits me too. A villian is not disgraced by being called a good for nothing and a good for nothing can still make a good marraige
|
So, you rascal, you think Im going to allow you to trick a gentleman and use my name to marry his sister. If you ever mention this plot again, not only will i exposed you to mr humphery but ill turn you out naked into the street. Is that clear
|
|
|
May I suggest a Compromise? The young lady worships me. She Idolizes me. Suppose I tell her I am a servant and suppose she is still hungry for me, will you let me call the fiddlers?
|
As soon as it is known who you are, I wash my hands of the whole business
|
|
|
Good! Im off to tell my angel the truth about me. I hope the little detail of a livery wont stand between us. May her love elevate me from my place at the sideboard to a seat at the table.
|
What has happened here- what has happened to me- is unbeleiveable. Still I want to ask lisa whether she has had any success with her mistress. She promised to help me out of this quandary. Perhaps I can find her alone
|
|
|
Stay trivet I have something to tell you
|
What Can i do for you sir
|
|
|
Have you been flirting with lisa
|
She is so lovely it is difficult not to talk about love with her
|
|
|
and how does she respond?
|
She makes a joke of it
|
|
|
You're Clever but arent you playing the hypocrite with me
|
No i am not. but why do you care? Suppose lisa finds me appealing
|
|
|
Finds you appealing? Where do you take these expressions? you know- your speech is rather too flowery for a lad of your class
|
Sir I know no other speech
|
|
|
Youre obviously using these refinements, these imitations of the gentleman, to turn lisa's head
|
I assure you sir, That i am not imitating anyone. How ever I cant beleive you came here to ridicule me . Was there something else? We were speaking about lisa, about my feelings for her and about the interest you take in the matter.
|
|
|
I detect a note of jealousy in your answer. A little moderation, if you pleace. You were saying that if lisa finds you appealing... what then?
|
Why should you know anything about it, sir?
|
|
|
Because eventhough i bantered about this up to now. But I wouldnt like to have trivet for a rival
|
I can beleive you; because trivet himself, though he is only trivet is not happy either to have you for a rival
|
|
|
He will have to get use to it
|
He will but sir how devoted are you to her?
|
|
|
Enough to engage myself seriously to her as soon as Ive taken certain steps Do you understand what that means?
|
Yes I beleive I do and on these terms I daresay youve won her love
|
|
|
Why not? Dont you think Im a good catch?
|
You dont expect praise from your own Rivals I hope
|
|
|
Far from it, but simply because a man ought to be truthfull
|
You surprise me sir, Doesnt Lisa know intentions?
|
|
|
He looks downcast. Were you abusing him?
|
This gentlemen tells me that he loves you, Lisa
|
|
|
Thats not my fault
|
And he forbids me to love you
|
|
|
At least he wont repeat it in my presence. Leave us now trivet
|
I am waiting for her to give the order
|
|
|
He says he is waiting so be patient
|
Do you have a warm feeling for this gentleman, lisa?
|
|
|
You mean, Do I love him? I wont require any prohibitions against that!
|
Is this the Truth?
|
|
|
I am playing a pretty part here! away with him! Who does the fellow think he is?
|
He is simply trivet
|
|
|
Well, let him get out

Give way, trivet, since he is angry

|
|
