ACT I, SCENE V

1. Those who hurry and run are soon[1] in a perspiration. 2. When the ticket-office is not open, passengers sit down and wait. 3. All right! I will see to the tickets first and the baggage afterwards. 4. Why! There's my old friend Majorin! 5. These friends are very kind to come and see us off[2]. 6. There she is at last! 7. Come, don't hurry so[3]. 8. See, there are some seats over there: if you will kindly[4] wipe one of them, I will sit down.

[1: bientôt.] [2: Tr. «not to let us leave without bidding us good-by.»] [3: tant.] [4: vouloir bien.]
