Countess Stop the singing. I perceive that instead of rejoicing you, something saddens you. There's something here I don't understand. When I marry a nephew who displeases you so much that you are sending him away—
Bramble
Send him away, Madame, that's what I wish—
Countess
And, when I take your niece off your hands—
Widow
You please me greatly, Madame.
Countess
Arabella will leave tomorrow for Scotland.
Widow
I consent, but—
Countess
And your nephew to Wales—
Bramble
That's what I want—but—
Countess
Why then, are you both irritated, when I do what contents each of you?
Lucy
Madame doesn't want to be separated from her only niece.
