SCENE VIII.—LELIO, ERGASTE.
LEL. He intends to carry her off during a masquerade!
ERG. There is nothing more certain; one of his band informed me of his design, upon which I instantly ran to Mascarille and told him the whole affair; he said he would spoil their sport by some counter-scheme which he planned in an instant; so meeting with you by chance, I thought I ought to let you know the whole.
LEL. I am very much obliged to you for this piece of news; go, I shall not forget this faithful service.
[Exit Ergaste.]
